Making a Thai man cry ...

Typical ... I've been in Thailand for four days and I made a man cry ... All I said was, "when the King dies who's going to replace him?" Bring on the water works. He told me he loves the king very much and then hung over the railing weeping for a few awkward minutes ... Sorry? I had to apologize profusely and tell him his love for the king was very special and I'm sure the king will live forever. Geez! I didn't realize it was such a sensitive topic ... Good to know ... I am in Chumphon on my way to the island of Ko Tao tomorrow. I love these random stops where you meet interesting people ... The king lover, the lady at the book store who said I looked like a model and asked to take my picture ( geez ego boosting) ... And the grannie on the train that took me under her wing, and who I accidentally flashed a naked picture of my butt covered in bug bites ( we'll discuss that later) to ... Super random and fun. And I finally got some books! All the travellers in Burma seemed to be French and I could not find any English books. I felt so deprived ... I'm stocked up now! Yeah!! I was feeling a little down about being in Thailand ... Bangkok is tiresome ... But it's nice to be out on the road. I have zero pics so far ... So none to share ...
