    Exciting stuff! My tailor is there.

    Drop him an email whenever and a new suit, shirt or trousers arrives a few weeks later.

    In defense of Vans, the are a cool (temperature wise) slip on alternative to flip flops. Much preferable to flip flops around a lot of people and especially good shoes for wet markets.

    I quite liked days on and around (in a boat) Koh Kret island. (Technically Nonthaburi province)

    Phra Pradaeng (Technically Samut Prakan province)

    And Golden Mount.


    If on me lonesome in a pink pair of shoes, probably down around Suk for a nice Jap style massage service. Good feed not in a pub. Book shopping, Metal club for some live metal, then Mendying the night away getting me passport well renewed if operation pick up metal chick was a failure.

    Obviously. Crocs wouldn't be a good choice.

    Another vote for Vans being comfy cool shoes. Surprised to see Armo wearing pink though, so girly.
