SE Asia and Pronto Denim Carnival 2014

[Giles]

Nothing quite prepares me for the madness that is the Pronto Denim Carnival.  We took 108 pairs of PDC3 jeans with us, 2.5 hours after the doors opened, we had 2 pairs left….

That's intense. They definitely take denim collecting up a notch. I really like the pictures of the temple and all of the history/ culture involved.
Not to derail but I also see you have joined the club of the accused. I was added when I didn't respond to a PM fast enough…. Definitely notable nazi behavior.

I have a lot of photos to post (and I mean a lot). Will start doing so tomorrow.

If I said that Thailand has the most incredibly intense denim culture anywhere on earth, I would only start to describe it.

There is simply nowhere like this on the planet.

Few of my friends in malaysia travelling to bangkok only to see you guys in action..it's a great annual denim event for southeast asia and it's resembling an inazuma festival for some of us

Tom-san goes to Inazuma every year.  This was her first Denim Carnival.  She was simply blown away.  I had to show her photos of what the event was actually like, as she did not surface (her job was sorting out piles of paid for stuff) for hours today…...

Sarina gives a Monk the eye…

Whilst we at the flower market, Matthew bought some Lotus to show us how to prepare them correctly to give as offering to Lord Buddha…

And quite a large Lord Buddha it was too...

[Giles]

On the way back to base, it started to rain, which bought out the best in our sartorial prowess….

[Giles]

Back at base, The Fish spa was tried.  Sarina's shrieks could have cracked glass….
