I Went to Thailand Part I: Pictures of Nothing of Historical or Cultural Importance!

My friend Loren and I recently went on a one-week tour of Thailand. It was awesome. It also created some scenarios that are worthy of attention. To begin with, because it’s more fun, here are some quick pictures and descriptions of events.

This is Dom. For 120 minutes of our lives, Dom and I were best friends, as can be told by this sequence of Best Friendsies Pictures taken over the course of previously mentioned 120-minute period.

Thanks, Thai Mom who supervises bathroom signage at the airport.

I sometimes misspell things like Bus Assistant. I hope he got his tip.

Thai cigarettes tell us that smoking diseases your foot? Maybe if you drop a lit cigarette on your gasoline-covered shoe?

These bottles were sold at restaurants. On the menu they are described as “whiskey” on the bottle they are ambiguously classified as “Blended Spirits.”

Because I’m a millennial, selfies are a required picture at every stop. Because it’s about ME being wherever and YOU seeing it on social media. Because I matter.

Lens flares allow me to believe I’m good at photography. And as cool as JJ Abrams.

Speaks for itself. 

In Thailand Vampires find work as spokesmodels for cars.

Our tour guide love talking about tapioca, so a senior picture in front of the plant was required.

In a museum of the future this will be called Millenial with Oversized Ticket.

Selfies on elephants are harder than regular selfies.

We finished our tour at a temple in a town, all thinking that our hotel was in the same town as the temple. Tourguide John got on the speaker and says, “Okay, we drive 1.5 hours, then hop on the boat to take to our hotel. This is cool, but also annoying when all of your plans require being close to the city center. #whitetouristproblems

This cow is so happy.

Thai boxing was so awesome it deserves three pictures, followed by self-indulgent shot of me wearing a tank top that matches my beer can.

This guy has luxurious hair and also somehow kept getting beers bigger than ours. Hair is important in Thailand. Nate Berkus would be a god.

Nate Berkus.

This Buddha Child is terrifying.

The world's first openly gay Buddha. You can almost hear it say, "GURL!"

Thai guardians have big booties. This probably serves some defensive purpose. The tails probably do as well.

This is the picture one (who is a Millennial) takes when one walks 3 miles in the rain to see Thai Boxing and find out it has been canceled due to political protests.

In Thailand water bottles wear coats.

To conclude: Selfies.
