As a former model, Mr tourguide was demonstrating to us how he posed when took part in the Mr Thailand peagent, where he was crowned Mr Statuesque. He had many fans, he said beaming, male and female alike.

so we thought we'd try our hand at posing too.

then leading us down the walkway to our hotel, he explained why he couldnt stay with us in the same hotel.

the reason, as we soon found out, was that he was too tall.

As for Leon, i think he found that it was just the right height, so he was real cosy that night.

we went out later that night to find dinner,

and were greeted at the restaurant by a gay waiter, who served us with glee.

but the menu was so messed up and difficult to read, i ended up eating some long wormy looking things.

during the free shopping time later, i saw this sign and thought, you mean the water i used in private wasnt from the tap?

but i brushed away that thought at the sight of the city's most famous shopping belt. the charisma and charm of this area was alluring, and i really loved their 'closed-door' shopping technique. you had to look through little peepholes to see what they sold and transaction was by coins. like, how cool is that?

the atmosphere in this city is really one-of-a-kind, with people picnicing everywhere,

and where money grew on trees ondoors,

and where people pointed to their noses to tell you that you smell really nice.

we've had fun in this place with Mr tourguide,

and Mr Cameraman,

and we bid all a fond goodbye as Leon rode us all back home on his tuk-tuk.
