I Hate Kao Sarn

Posted by Stuart at 08:27 AM on January 16, 2004

It's Friday already and I have to say that this past week was a good one. I finally am getting some traction in my life it seems.

Probably the biggest breakthrough was that I figured out a way to study Thai language. I always tried to squeeze it in during the day or after work, but it just never seemed to work. So now I just get up a little bit earlier and go to school and study for 45 minutes or so as I eat my breakfast. I was able to do it every day (except for today) and I can already see that it is really going to pay off.

The reason I didn't do it this morning was that I was at the airport until 1:30 AM picking up a friend of a friend. After taking her to her guesthouse on Kao Sarn Road, I finally got home and in bed around 3.

Let me just take this time to say how much I hate Kao Sarn Road. It is the trash pit of Thailand. There is only one place I have been in Asia to that I really really hated, and that was Kao Sarn road in Bangkok. It is all of the worse that Thailand has to offer: it's smelly and trashy and it's full rude Thai people and too many stupid, drunk farang. After I was there for 10 minutes I was sad and angry and felt like I needed a shower. Not good.

So, instead of thinking about that, I will think about my upcoming weekend: a nice little getaway to my favorite Thai island with Mark and Tom. We leave tomorrow and I can hardly wait!
