CHIANG RAI This place can be summed up as my retirement home, its mint. Blurred vision,
no energy, walking over 5 miles in excruciating sun, very little food and a 40
km Tuk Tuk ride to the house of dreams and sin. The White temple is too
beautiful, the Black house too weird. The creator of the Black house was the
teacher to the architect who built the White Temple, what a contrast and
interesting alternative from the teacher’s dark twisted devil layer to the
Polish Princess castle.
Stopping smoking AGAIN makes it tough, the friendliness of
the northern people is refreshing though. A well-travelled Geri had gave us
loads of excellent tips for going on our travels, this has set the way to a
blissful journey, even when the times are tough and the tempers run high whilst
moving on from a simple responsibility issue to an argument, once resolved a
little playful humour will reset the relationship and no one loses face. Try it,
you will be amazed at how effective it is, I wish I learnt it quicker, but I
think my re-programme chip from work deleted humour haha. If you dinny
ask you
dinny get, no cheek no chance and the Thai are masters of sucking every Baht
out of you without you ever knowing it.
After 13 hours sleep were bouncing, you have to rest in this
heat but the Thai trip is becoming a god send. I now feel totally detached from
the world I once knew and I’m starting to understand the possibilities of life
not known to the western white devils! This place has given me soo much
inspiration this came out of my head:-
THAI GIBBY DELIGHT Walking in the Thai sky eye
I see this funny shade of yeeelllooww
Don’t even know the place
But everything has a sense of blissful meeelllooww.
Could it all be a deep dream
Sunshine, smiles and a foreign scene
A perfect place off the grid
Nothing more of bonny banks bid
Looks like I’m here to relax
Can’t find a reason, no turning back
Another race, cool cats grace
Loving time in a different space!
Walking in the Thai sky eye
I see this funny shade of life
Don’t even know the place I sit
Everything has a wonderful glint
Devils with brides, delights surprise
Can you ever just feel the lies
They come knocking when you least expect
Door slams, temp rise, new age script
When are we ever to be in touch
Laughter, beware, love has no punch
Look once, stare thrice, your caught, be nice!
Don’t go looking for sublime
Dis-tasteful signs light up your mind
When have you ever sold the truth
Hateful mirrors, mis-sold youth
Looks to me, like your side tracked
Don’t ever know if I’l be back
Walking in the Thai sky eye
I see this funny shade of mine
Don’t even know this strange place
But everything has a sense of grace
Too much truth with a different place
Now were suffering the pleasure race!
All those years unaware
Truth hurts and loads of dis-pare
Only to find a hateful glimpse
Distant hills and sinful stints
Can we all
learn the truth
Touch lives and make a truce
Can we all see what’s wrong
Nothing stops us, were too far gone
Walking in the Thai sky eye
I see this extraordinary lie
Don’t even know this strange place
But everything has a distinct full taste.
Home at last, here to stay
Evil demons are far far away!

Looks Like your having fun!
Hi Davy, Just read your latest blog from Chiang Rai, Its a lovely place, used to be just a small town when I was there but I'll bet its bigger now. Always haggle hard but keep a smile on your face and you'll usually come out with a better deal. Another trick is to start to walk away, if there's a chance they'll loose you business they often start dropping the price! I see its turned you into a bit of a poet too! You'll soon get aclimatised and it won't feel so hot, you'll be complaining its too cold in the mornings soon! Why not try Laos? Not far from you now, sleepy Vientiane and Luang prabang and Phonsavan were great, just hope they have better rods by now. People were really friendly and you can spend Thai Baht there as well as the local Kip. Just a thought laddie! Enjoy!
