Looking for out of the ordinary (strange, interesting, bizarre) activities to do

Should have some interesting mushrooms any day now to hunt for in Pai.

If they had mushroom hikes led by a Mycologist, I'd sign up. Sounds like great fun!

Hard boil some eggs at the Samkampaeng Hot Springs. The place has become a shrine to hard boiled eggs (I'm not joking).

You can go to Hell. Buddhist Hell. Not visited by many yet, But according to them many will soon enough. Near Mae Jo. See the link for directions.

The "Buddhist Hell" is on my must visit list for all my guests that I think would interested in such a thing as it's in my neighbourhood. A very different way to tell moral stories and the graphic nature (the photo is off one of the milder scenes) is quite unusual for here for being in a temple setting.

A mushroom picking tour is a great idea, especially as the season is soon, but no need to go all the way to Pai as the hills here are full of them. In Mae Jo I always come upon mushroom foragers while mt biking in the forest and often purchase some from the Hill Tribe ladies I run into (not literally) there.

To get an idea what's one might find pictured below is an assortment of forged mushrooms I bought at Rumchok a previous year

clockwise from top:
เห็ดนำ้ผึ้ง (Hed Nam Pung) - Honey Mushroom for it's similar color
เห็ดซาง (Hed Sang) - these grow up dead tree trunks
เห็ดเผาะ (Hed Pouk) - named after the sound it makes when they explode (POOK!) - Puff Ball Mushroom
เห็ดนำ้หมาก (Hed Nam Mag) - is named after the color of one's spit when chewing bettle nut

We will be sacrificing a virgin while summoning up the black prince next Friday at midnight, if you are interested?

Everyone welcome, but please bring a bottle and your own virgins.

Male virgins OK?

I could bring some Tv members.

Graphic they are, but the few hell museums I've seen in LOS have all been part of wats. One of the buildings in Wat Mae Yen in Pai is covered with similarly graphic depictions of hell. Far more effective than descriptions of fire and brimstone I reckon...

I went to hell, it was small, but amusing.

Intersting how versions of heaven and hell can be quite similar across many cultures. The Christian hell, however, does seem more constrained pornograpically, but then so, perhaps, are mainstream Christians, except for some nasty deviants such as pedophiles.

Buy the best motorcycle gear, wear it and crash intentionally. The point is, at the end you will see if it saved you or not.

You can even come up with different ways to drop the bike. If you are a simple guy, you can simply just jump off the bike. If you care about the details then stall the bike. Put it into first without using the clutch or something like that.

Report back how it went.

Swimming in the moat on a summer's eve. What could be better. Best after, oh say, 10 pm and the polluting traffic has gone home. Skinny dipping superior to any costume.

Find a hobby to occupy your mind and time... Personally, I have too many and would be willing to lend you one...

go to gay bar and get picked up by ladyboy cheers

Ladyboy's are not gay and wouldn't frequent gay bars.

Maybe someone with more knowledge of these things can confirm?

The Shooting Club inside the 700 year Stadium Complex is worth a visit if you've got about 1500(+) baht you don't need. I went there last week and watched a large group of Chinese folks having a ball, trying out big .357 mag pistols, automatics, and shotguns. (Man are those loud in that enclosed space.) There are other shooting places around here, but I like that one the best. It's a bit hard to find, but follow your ears.

Ladyboys. Kotchasan Road (up Thapae, turn left, enjoy your drive) between midnight till sun up. I drove by at about 5 am a few months back. I felt like I was driving thru a David Lynch or Federico Fellini movie. Sta-raaaange!

Build a traditional outdoor wood fired stone pizza oven in your garden?

Build a pumpkin cannon

If that's too much you can make a potato cannon with some PVC tubing, hairspray and a piezo electric cooker igniter.

Sneak out into the night and make some crop circles, with a few lottery numbers inside each circle, that would definitely make national news.

That reminded me of when I was a kid and built a large potato gun. Someone called the police on us (very loud "BOOM" when it shot) who in turn came, treated us like terrorists, said we made a bomb, called the fire department who came with an ambulance and the bomb disposal team. All to discharge our spud gun safely. It was comedy gold.

I wish I just made that up, but I didn't.
