Frank's Arty Religiony Statue Emporiums (TM)
Sunday, 30 January 2005
Right then people, are you sitting comfortably because I'm going to tell you about some history/art/religion type shit which we have come across in a very deep and authoritive manner. Im sure this text will be studied in universities and colleges around the world. It's about a man called, erm, well, I've forgotten his name because it's all weird and foreign sounding so....let's call him Frank...
Too hot for WWII
Wednesday, 26 January 2005
We are in Kanchanburi now which is a town a bit southwest of Bangkok. It's where the Bridge Over The River Kwai is which is an important WWII site where the Japanese forced hundreds of thousands of POWs to complete the "Death Railway" and the bridge. This resulted in most of them dying in horrible ways. So there's your history lesson. BUT it's really hot here so we've not done much.

Last night we had the pleasure of seeing a talented young woman play a horn with her lady's special parts. In the words of Stan Lee, "Nuff Said".
There's some photos from Khao Yai National Park including some extremely dodgy photography of several nature things and the very special military tuck shop. Also, for you nature junkies out there we have a movie of lots of bats leaving a cave which is quite freaky and even better a really impressive redition of George Michael's "Faith" on the acoustic geetar by the one Yuri. Sterling guitarery there, my lad! Rock on.

Well, we got out of Laos in the end after a couple of excellent Third World Bus Journeys(TM) where all of the crazy looking, betel nut chewing, blood red mouthed (from chewing betel nuts all day) old women stared at us, taunted us and were generally a bit threatening. It seems that in Laos it's the old ladies that are the thugs of the nation, going around being noisy, doing drugs and generally being harsh while the young blokes are just chilled, friendly and drug free, simply wondering around sporting the finest in Crackpot Military Leader fashion which, I can tell you now, is THE way to go in fashion.

Well, we are about to high tail it out of Laos and back into North Eastern Thailand. Here is what we did before that:
