A top 5 after 5 weeks in Bangkok (7 months later)

I just found this post that never got published, I assume because blogger is a goddamn piece of shit. So here it is, I stand by these 5 things though probably could add another 20. Thailand is still generally a great place to live, almost 8 months in.

I have lived in Bangkok for about 5 weeks now here are a few of my favourite things:

* Cute babies everywhere:

* Super efficient and refrigerated train system.

* Hailing a taxi by making a gentle palm down wave motion "like you are patting a dog on the head".

* All kinds of tiny, delicious & cheap as shit street foods:

* Seem to be pretty happy and kind people?

Seriously this "land of smiles" is no bullshit. I'm sure there's a decent amount of just saving face but they're at least trying. I can almost feel that Australian cynicism fading every day. I bristle when I read someone back home making a snarky comment about something out of habit. Something that I would usually find funny but now am like cool your jets whitney, they're just doing their thing who cares it is fine to like one sport more than the other one you know?
