Sunday Market at Pala-U

---

We got up early today after sampling Tongbai's herbal whisky last night. It's market day in 1 of the local villages. Have a look at the pictures & soak up the atomosphere.

Buying a Thai "Egg Roti"
Delicious!

25 baht/Kg is about 45p.

A real delecacy!!!!! Smells like sh*t & tastes like sh*t. I guess it must be an aquired taste!

Sala - apparently
Did not try these.

Lon-gon
Look discussting, taste great!

Tongbais Patented Herbal Whiskey
Made from various herbs & roots from the rainforest, incliding the root of the tiger balm tree. The ingredients were soaked in Thai White Whiskey 5 years ago. I had the honour of being the first to try it.

One small glass - Felt great, slept like a baby...
.....& felt totally refreshed in the morning. Beter than Red Bull. There must be a market for this stuff!

Repatriation ?
Hi Tiger, not long to go now before you need to start heading back home. It's almost like resurfacing after a deep sea dive....need to come back to the surface gradually, take it easy, don't lose touch with those feelings, don't fall back into the westerner trap to quickly - your nitrogen levels might soar........ That said and done....do you fancy going to the British speed-way Grand Prix in Cardiff on the 28th of June then on to the after party event with all the famous bikers in the evening ( all tickets with compliments from Nick) ? Well what do you say...you could thrill Brian and myself in the pub with your exploits....before entering the stadium (too noisy after that :) ). Oh yeah...about what I said at the start....nothing wrong with a little nitrogen now is there....especially injected into the tank!! Let me know so I can organise a ticket for you. Steve

It's almost like resurfacing after a deep sea dive....need to come back to the surface gradually, take it easy, don't lose touch with those feelings, don't fall back into the westerner trap to quickly - your blood sugar levels might soar........

Well what do you say...you could thrill Brian and myself in the pub with your exploits....before entering the stadium (too noisy after that :) ). Oh yeah...about what I said at the start....nothing wrong with diving straight back into the westernised way of living as soon as possible either!! :) Let me know so I can organise a ticket for you. Steve PS. Can I ghost write your memoirs for you and star as you in the film? Oh go on, go on, go on, go on !! see ya soon
