Our Trip to Thailand

We took a 1 week trip to Phuket (pronounced poo-ket) Thailand. It was quite an adventure. It's an interesting town. There are beaches, snorkeling and SCUBA diving, elephants, rain forest, and the town is full of dentists, optometrists, little vendor shops, and tailors. A man can get 2 suits, 2 ADDITIONAL pairs of pants, 2 shirts, and 2 silk ties custom made for $189 US - TOTAL. There also also what Rob calls he-she's. They have cabaret shows where these guys perform in drag. Some are still guys, some are "in transition", and some "have completed the surgery". Nice! There are also a ton of tourists. I think if the tourists left they would lose at least 95% of their revenue in the town. We concluded the average tourist age was 55, and the beaches and resort pools don't look like California. Almost all of the tourists are fat and terribly out of shape. An no body complexes like in the US. These people all run around letting it all hang out, totally unihibited. In the next few weeks keep checking back as I post new postings showing some of our adventures in Thailand.
