Kesh Meets a Monk

Oh yes. It’s raining in Thailand.

Kesh and I resolved not to let a few thunder snaps/sporadic monsoonal rains imprison us on our first day. Booked ourselves on a three hour ATV tour of Phang Nga (up on the mainland). Crazy jungle, rubber tree and palm oil plantations, super friendly locals, waterfall swimming, Monk meetings and eight hours later we slid out of the car into our hotel room.

We emerged a little less muddy for dinner. Let’s just say we won’t be eating in Kata again, or Patong, or anywhere heavily populated by white people. I’m not racist towards my own colour but seriously, white people in the house equals bad food. I’ll be following the Thai to their own feeding places tonight…

About two hours into the Jungle we came to a temple where this Monk was. This is as close as Kesh was allowed...

Outside our room

Saw this guy standing on power lines in thongs. No safety harness...

First stop on the quad bikes



Apparently you have to ride quads in Crocs. I'm not joking...


That face is mean...




Rubber tree plantation

Cut the tree and it pretty much bleeds rubber into a coconut cup







Kesh likes finger bananas

Very much

Even more than first thought
