Bangkok & Chiang Mai
Mid January, 2009
Thai snacks! Bugs
Oh by the way we ate some, check the clip!
Lert mirrorin'
Brook shooting some sequences... check the Thai article which will come out on the Slap website pretty soon!
We tried to skate the highest bust spot in Bangkok, the Sun Dial. To my knowledge there are only two in the world like
this. One is Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and this one outside of Bangkok. Rodrigo gave it a try, check it out by clicking
on the clip below!
Our driver, always down to sesh, just not early in the morning...
After a couple days of filming in Bangkok we dcided to head up to Chiang Mai, which meant 8-10 hours in the Van,
but at least we get to see some monkeys on the way...
So we stopped in this town called Lopburi. Apparently this town had a bunch of monkeys and they kind of ruled the
town. But there were two gangs of monkeys, one chilled at the Train Station and the Temple next to it and the
others were living by the abandoned buildings. It was like West Side Stories, but with Monkeys!
This website should be called "Monkey Visual Traveling"... sorry for the people that are getting annoyed by these
monkeys updates...
Jack had some monkeys bitting his shit...
Adelmo! Jah bless!
Rodrigo got three monkeys!
Tao eating healthy!
I pretty much didn't take any pictures in Chiang Mai, but had to capture one of Mister Curtin's Fs 180 on a
north Thairooftop!
and once again after three to four days of filming in the north, it was time to head down back to Bangkok and
leave Chiang Mai by hittin' the clubs...
Laaater Chiang Mai, see you next time!
After another long 11 hour drive back go Bangkok, the next night it was another 10 hour train ride to Chumphon
and then from their to Koh Tao!
train rides are awesome!
So we arrived in Chumphon really early and had to wait till the sun came up to catch our boat to Koh Tao
(the small island 4 o'clock from Chumphon)
Something smelled fishy... (Photo by Tao)
Joe was glad to have survived Death Railway and the boat ride to the Island... (Photo by Tao)
