I know the saying, "If you have to ask......"

Let me describe my day, and you guys be the judge. *note: don't be a hater. jealous is the devil's work.

I wake up to some crazy birds flying on my roof, all scratching to get in like some modern symphony . a bad symphony.

I toss my 11 thread-count blanket on the floor, walk on the cold tile floor to my bathroom/shower/sauna area while narrowly avoiding 1 million ants.

breakfast: 7-11 bread and some weird pudding-flavored donut, washed down with my heated (this contraption will kill me one day) water and strange tea leaves. the time is now noon.

I survey my riches, and grab 300 baht to enjoy a day in luxury.

after walking for 2 hours to kad suan gaow or whatever, survey some sois i've not seen yet, and even check out some temples for unknown reasons.... i get a shake. like a boss.

2 more hours of walking, and thinking, and sun-avoidance, I find a park to relax after a day of hard work. reward; 40 baht bowl of noodles.

soon i am relieved of 10 baht for an emergency bathroom break.

I walk back to my abode, telling my guesthouse mates how i am a world-traveler and experienced thailand like no other. 1 hour discussion on conversations ranging from living here to dating to marriage to whatever.

nap time.

up at 8 p.m., wide-awake. time for the night walk.

first i go to my favorite internet cafe. that is 15 baht i'll never see again. just like these 3 minutes you will never get back. haha.

i then hit up thapae gate and observe. after 10-minutes i decide to practice thai with someone too nervous to simply run, and consider getting a beer. consideration declined.

phone rings. just kidding, i don't have a phone.

I then plan out the next 10-years of my life. boy, that was exhausting. i need a nap.

Gripping stuff. You should write thrillers.

I hope you're going to come back in the morning when your head has cleared and tell us what that's all about. I sometimes advise people to get out a bit more often, but in your case I think you should stay in for a while.

I should recommend a hobby or two, puukao.

How old are you?

And more importantly, "what do you want to be when you grow up?"

A life well lived except for breakfast

Get a bicycle, it will allow you to extend your travels.

So what else happened between 8:30ish pm and half past 2am at night when you wrote this?

Blackout?

Not Chiang Mai related - moving to General

You are obviously Hi-so to eat 40 baht noodles, all us low-sos go for the 30 baht....and 10baht to pee, we just pee on the wall........

Is Hi-so your brand of noodles?

 

 

And more importantly, "what do you want to be when you grow up?"

AFAIC the most difficult question. As a kid my favourite reply was: "I don't know"... and it has not really changed since then.

Henceforth, I tend to understand that what is important is the way and not the goal.

Don't grow up!

It's a trap!

Writing seems somewhat similar to the style of old pulp detective stories.

"... weird pudding-flavored donut"
That sounds so uniquely clever. Oh, not so unique...

Rambling wannabe pulp writer... don't feed the troll.

For which we are eternally grateful as further proof is now served to the curmudgeons in General that Chiang Mai does indeed host a lot of space cadets quirky band of lost souls.

PS. OP, please stop drinking the moat water.

How old are you?

I would guess at 12

i then hit up thapae gate and observe. after 10-minutes i decide to practice thai with someone too nervous to simply run,

You should write novels or go to work for one of the local publications!

If they ran, could you catch them? I tried to run yesterday, stopped after making it across the 4 lane road, I was exhausted, wanted a beer but declined.....

I lol'ed

Hi- So maak , bro! -- On a side note, what's more overused, Hi-so, or Gik?

Do you, in a mind searching moment, ever ask yourself 'what am I doing here'?

Sad story. You should seek medical advice ASAP

Hahahahaha!! OMG, that's so clever!! You're a riot! You're crazy, man!! Can I be your friend?

you sir have just proven yourself far more pathetic the the OP could ever hope to be.

Exactly. This would have been my life if i did NOT have a bicycle. Well, I also take classes at AUA in Thai as well.

I have ridden about 6,000 miles in Thailand over 6 months, and taken a few thai courses (3).

I'm not saying the biking has made life that much more interesting; however, without the bike......this could be me!!!

Oh, I could have spiced it up with my female neighbors bothering me, teaching a little english, and some more things...but maybe for another post.

*note: I've gone up to doi suthep over 50 times, near the caves up north about 6-7 times (80+ miles round trip) and the town of hot down south (100 miles round-trip). i've ridden with a few clowns.

the thai courses would take 2 hours a day, plus 1 hour outside of class. 5x a week. biking about 2-4 hours a day. amazingly, only one tiny accident while going to get my haircut.

you sir have just proven yourself far more pathetic the the OP could ever hope to be.

You, Madam, suffer from stuttering.

Not hi-so my friend but probably more farang kee-nok - but don't worry if you're happy it don't matter what other people think or care.
