Thailand is very...

Justin and I got into the habit of making, ...is very statements constantly in Thailand. Right from the beginning, when we got on the plane, until we crossed the boarder into Laos we were always commenting on the sights, sounds and attitudes around us. So I thought what better way to sum up our month in Thailand than by giving you a short list of how "very..." everything in Thailand is. To start:
The abundance of air hostesses on Thai Airways are very - "May I help you?... O sorry, hee hee. I don't speak English."
The airport in Thailand is very - " yea we hate Indians." Actually that was observed not just at the airport but all over Thailand in fact. The Thais are sticklers about cleanliness and they don't appreciate the Indians more "natural" appearance and hygiene.
Bangkok is very - ling ling - which actually means power power. So all those jokes I used to make back home, courtesy of Ab Fab were actually an accurate descriptor.
Bangkok is also very -party hard sleep late. "Wats, what wats?"
As I previously mentioned Thai protests are very - "souvenirs and snacks anyone" That is until they send the army in and then they are very - "Aaahhhh get me out of here. What is going on?"
Asking Thai people about Thai politics is very - "Politics what politics, just have another beer. Better yet have a bucket."
Thais are very - "We love the King."
Drag shows in Bangkok and Koh Tao are very - "We don't know the words but we move our mouths just the same."
Koh Phangan is very - "oh you wanted to get some sleep, yea fuck you."
The Thais of the south are very - I'll smile in your face but I'm laughing at you inside.
Koh Tao is very - Scuba dive or else...
Koh Tao is also very - temptation island. (For straight people)
Bus travel in Thailand is very - we could keep going but we'd rather stop to eat.
Eating in Thailand is very - fried fried and more fried
Being vegetarian in Thailand is very - "hahaha fuck you."
SK House Guest house is very - "quickly quickly get her a tuk tuk and get her to the hospital before any other guests see her."
The staff SK House are very - "yea they don't pay me enough to care, or eat actually."
Chiang Mai hospital is very - "Thank god we're still in Thailand."
The staff at the hospital were also very - nine nurses for ever farang
Thai massage is very - "stretch bitch."
Getting to Luang Prabang is very - "o you are too poor to fly, that sucks for you."
The Thais at the overland border crossing are very - "this is our last chance to rip you off and we are going to milk it for all it is worth."
The Thais are also very - "don't let the Lao people rip you off, we'll take care of that ourselves."
The vendors at the morning market were very - "what are those white people doing up so early?"
