I know! I thought it'd take the fun out of my life if I stopped being facetious, but in fact it's not that bad.

How come you know it? From where?

Fauxie said:

In my thesis I'm studying how thai born mothers living in Finland experience their culture being meet during finnish birthing care.

We've been reasearching on thai culture in general and mai pen rai came up on many occasions. It was very essential when describing thai culture and their way of being.

Mushanga said:

Cool! Yes it most definitely is essential, in the case of water sliding off a duck's back, or burying your head in the sand to ignore an issue.

Fauxie said:

We'll you're the expert.. They're quite an interesting people and interesting to research on..

Mushanga said:

I couldn't claim to be an expert, but yep, Thai culture and behaviour definitely is interesting.

Fauxie said:

Can you think of the weirdest/freekiest/most baffling experience you've had with 'em?

Mushanga said:

I can think of the funniest.

My friend and I were down by this man-made lake near his old condo around 3 or 4 am in the morning, having a few beers and chatting, and a police pick-up truck pulled up. The driver, passenger and guy sitting in the back on the flat-bed (funny in itself ) all jumped out in unison and came running over. They feverishly patted us down while shouting "Guns?? Drugs??" while I cracked up uncontrollably. I started talking in Thai with one policeman, just small-talk stuff and he was really friendly, saying he was impressed with my Thai, while at the same time the two other policemen ran to the lake to relieve their bladders before all three ran in unison again back to the pick-up, jumped in, and sped off. It was just so bizarre in every way.

Seeing a sticker reading 'Pedophile' emblazoned across the rear window of some badly pimped-out old Camry or Cefiro was pretty funny too.

wtf?! That is so strange!!

Mushanga said:

I know, right?

I feel sure the cops were more drunk than we were.

Being hit on by ladyboys is an interesting experience sometimes too. Kept offering me prawn crackers and free drinks and just wouldn't leave me alone. Good thing Mon wasn't there.

Fauxie said:

Really? Were they pretty boys, did you even consider it?

Mushanga said:

They were alright, but no.

So in conclusion, I think we can all agree this was a success.

Fauxie said:

Great success.
