ProfessorFart Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Check out these photos! Who says Khao San isn't full of clowns anymore!!?? These pics were taken in two visits of half an hour each so I guess its fair to say that they are fairly typical of Khao San Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftcross Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 (edited) Quality pics and quality comments. Creased me up. I was down there last week and it was pretty much as described - public schoolboys with ''dreads'' and tribal tattoos. Better than going to the circus! My personal fav caption has to be ... We are special. We are better. We are c#### Spat my coffee everywhere... Edited February 1, 2005 by leftcross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 It is very funny, but it's sort of a rite of passage for the yungun's these days & hey, at least they tend to stay in one place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEAtramp Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Oh to be young again . I got photos going back to the 60's Many from India, Marrakech, London. If you think those photos are in any way strange, mine would blow you away. You should have walked down Carnaby St in the 60's.

ProfessorFart Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 (edited) But the 1960s was the 'real' time for the hippies. Not this vile contrived middle class nonsense we see today..............even though it was actually vile contrived nonsense even back then.

Not this vile contrived middle class nonsense we see today..............even though it was actually vile contrived nonsense even back then. I'm in the hippie capital of Canada right now professor and can't agree with you more. The 'real' hippies here have grown up, kept their ponytails, work as software engineers, and drive their flex-fuel cars to the organic markets. The new wannabes think being a hippy means not washing, begging for change, and getting some weed. Good news is both types love buying clothes I bring in from Thailand. cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, "live, and let live" does have a nice ring, na'? Even if simplistic sometimes in the real world. And, for many, it was a time of great learning and changes, sometimes for the betterment of humanity, sometimes not. The only thing that seems to stay the same is the attitudes of parents, and other old fogies, towards the 'younger generation' Edited February 1, 2005 by Ajarn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessorFart Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Dave that is priceless!!! I think 'fashion movements' have one time around and thats it. All of this 'new age hippie' BS is just a front for trying to recapture some 'golden age' of travel to the region. Maybe they want to see themselves as pioneers as the Goa set used to way back when.

If you had shown a lot of wit and humour with them it would have been great,but to accompany then with the words scum,c*unts,poo, shows definate juvenile tendancies. Or maybe you don't know any other words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedKelly Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I had to go down th KSR for worklast year......it was a meeting held right inone of the spiffy new restaurants there......the Thai staff thought it was a really cool thingto do.......anyway there I am walking along at night in the middle of all this in my tie n shirt etc.......and seriously two farang girls (Israelis) came up to me and asked me "what are you doing here".......I replied WHta do you mean........and they said...."well we did not expect to see someone dressed in a shirt and tie here" ........so i told them I was the Tourist Special Customer Relations official for the Kha San Road Police precinct. If anyone had any problems they could come to me and I would help them out. They believed me !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
