I'm goin' back on Friday! This will be my fifth year!

For anyone who's interested, last year I spent 5.5 weeks in Thailand and I kept a little journal of observations. Topics covered include the elabrate Thai drag shows, the constant spooking of trannies EVERYWHERE, the amazing cheap food, the giant wooden phalluses, etc. You can find it under: Motherboards.com->Front Door->Best of the Motherboards->Miss Understood's Hi From Thailand.

These photos are:
1)My $10 beach bungalow
2)A float in the Chiang Mai Flower Parade
3)Same parade, a little boy in full makeup on a pony. It's something historical I think.

This is:
1)Perfidia and me scandalizing the Night Market
2)One of many glitzy trannies in a 1000 seat drag show.
3)Do I look like a tranny chaser?

I LOVE these pics!
Have a wonderful time....
One of my bezzy bezzy mates packed in his high flying entertainment industry gig and went to live in Bali, he has been living all over Asia now for 8 years and is the best thing he ever did...
Enjoy!

That looks like a blast. I remember you going last year, but didn't realize you had stayed there that long. I guess at $10 a night you can't go wrong.

Although the same size bungalow in NY would run you about $5,000 a month!

Have a great time!

You better write a journal again! We live through you.

I'd love to see more pics of you and the girls( asian girls are so pretty)...sounds like an amazing time....good luck..

Goodie! more intimate details of Miss U rimming Thai mangina. Remember to bring your anal beads, hon.

Christopher, I'll get my eyes surged all Asiany if you'll marry me!

I'll stop in at Chez to say bye bye tonight.

"The first time I lay eyes on you I fancied us an a little one" but unfortunately I'm a pig that has to feed it's trough. I would love to be married to your mind and your spirit though because it so does intrest me(you sick motherf'r) I had no idea you were here since 1987.I really liked what you said about michael alig etc. I only shook his hand a few times I couldn't really add to anything.
Enjoy thailand to the fullest......I hope I see you out soon!!

It looks like paradise! I'm so jealous!As I write this it's -2 degrees in Chicago! Miss Understood is stunning in glam, but he a hot boy too isn't he?

Gi-Gi

Yeah, he looks kinda like Bob Dylan as a boy.

I have a weakness for that look!
sexy, rich, college, jewish boy'esque

Gi-Gi

Joan Baez!

OMG! You're right! Is this considered talking behind his back? Fuck- he's in Thailand with Asian trannies and young smooth boys for days!- he wouldn't give a shit what we said !

Gi-Gi

I don't think Miss minds people talking about her...it's when they STOP talking that you've got to worry. And I don't think she's there yet--she's still on the plane!

Speaking of who he looks like, he told me that in high school he was often told he looked like John "Ducky" Crier. I got the same thing--but me & Miss do not look at all alike. I guess it was a polite 80s way of saying:

"You are gay."

It's like 1AM and I'm in an open-front Internet cafe on Khao San Road. KS Road is... hmmm, Like St. Marks Place meets Mortville crossed with an amazing eclectic flea market with lots of hippie/punky clothing and accessories,bootleg CDs, and food vendors. Add thousand Aussie/Euro backpackers with dreadlocks. I wouldn't stay on this street, too noisy, but it's comforting to be near it. Oh, and between my hotel and here I've spooked 4 trannies.

A lot visitors who want to "keep it real" might shun it the way some of our friends might shun St Marks, but for a tourist neighborhood is earthy, convenient, fun, and cheap. The other tourist ghetto is all gossy hotels. It's slick and boring. This area is full of hidden alleyways chock full of cheap shopping and great snacks. I just had a fresh-n-spicy chicken satay for about 25 cents.

I'm still all zombified from the grueling plane ride. But the night weather is that rare perfect comfortable breeze.

I'm so riddled with Jealosy right now I can hardly contain myself. LOL Not only is it cold (although not as cold as when you left) but I just paid $7.50 for some shredded beef.

By the way, why is that place such a trannie heaven?

I'll probably read up on it at some point, but I do think that it just goes back a ways in their culture. I'm not saying that there's no discrimination at all. Trannies actually CANNOT get female IDs here, which they can in the States. But in general, everybody is used to them and pretty much lets them be. Maybe that's not true in rural areas, I'm not sure.

TV here airs major drag pageants. They also do that in Brazil. I've never seen it in the U.S. except for some lame Jenny Jones type thing.

So, even though surgery is cheap here, and even though lipo sounds tempting, I'm exploring more natural alternatives. There's this great place with a cleansing fast program. No food and colonics for days!! I might try it:

So Miss U how's the Thai boy pussy tasting so far? need a little soy sauce?

LEX.

For your information, the Thais rarely use soy sauce as a seasoning... they use FISH sauce! Mmmmmmmmm..

It's only my 2nd day. I haven't hit the bars yet. When I get on this day schedule I just can't do nightlife. I'll get there. I should go hit the bathhouse. It's really fancy looking. For here it's expensive: $5. You can live in it for $20 a day! I like it, but not that much. Hey, maybe Dirty Martini should stay there and be there and be their Bette Midler! I'd love to see a lady stripper in a gay bathhouse! Check it out:

I forgot how much I just love wandering around this city. I love the most plain old 14th-Street-esque shopping areas. The whole city is like a buffet. Everywhere you turn there's a food cart with some exotic snack for 25 cents. It's like snacking at an exotic cocktail party all day. I keep making it a point to try weird looking things that I may have been put off by oor ignored in the past. It's usully just some kind of fruit.

Last year the big knockoff item was fake Sprouse bags. This year it's much cuter: fake Paul Frank! Monkeys everywhere!
