Mini-Me's Thai Tour (Part 2) - [F'ing Andrew]

We made it safely back home to the good ol' U.S. of A. The little guy had quite a
ride the past two weeks bathing in the unique culture of this beautiful country. The people are very polite and friendly almost constantly smiling to put everyone at ease. The delicious food brings tears to the eyes - depending on how many peppers are used.




We learned that two hours of full-body massage is only 400 baht (roughly ten bucks) and I can say from personal experience that it's very relaxing with the added bonus of no souvenir bruises. Those little Thai gals can really throw you around into some weird positions to crack your back at the end. The masseuses gossiped and chatted with each other a little and Jon - the friend that I went with - speaks some Thai but he says it's much more fun if you don't let on at first that you can understand what they're saying.



We checked out some religious culture with stops at a few wats (temples) and spirit houses. Most Thai are only nominal Buddhist. You see little houses everywhere for spirits to live in. People often leave offerings of food and incense at these miniature shrines. There are even times you'll see Thai directly worshiping and giving offerings to plants and trees.



Mini-Me is confident that these mini-spirits don't mind if he eats their wafer snacks and even if they do he's pretty sure that he can take them in a fight.
