Ode to Rob & Tommy

How could I miss writing a dedicated post to the emotional departure of Rob and Tommy? As they head towards the Land of Oz and I continue in Laos, I could write a poem starting with the letters of their names, but that’d be totally gay, and Rob’s would only be 3 lines long. So I’ll just talk shit and take the piss out of both of you. Just like we spent the whole month doing.

It’s odd to think that if it hadn’t taken me close to 3hrs getting to MBK I wouldn’t have randomly bumped into you, done the whole awkward ‘I think I remember you guys from last night..what’s your name again?’ thing, and then for whatever reason decide travel with you the next month. Its even odder that we met through an imaginary character that both Rob and I invented called Decha, a mythical Thai boy we know very little about other than he likes to party.

I’m still keeping an eye on your blog Rob, but mate, those are some long ass posts. I’d never have got to know the real Bangkok if you hadn’t convinced us to spend 3 of our 4 weeks there. Maybe it was longer. Was great getting dressed up on your B’day and seeing the city from above too. Oh wait… Between the Soi and “The Club” there was barely enough time to visit Bumungrad, which you like to frequent so often. Too bad it wasn’t near by when you got injured tubing. Shame they had to take the leg. Hope your not driving any Quad bikes in Oz by the way, I hear they all veer to the right.

Tommy, until we went to find out if there was anything to do in Krabi, I never knew what took you boys so long to get ready all the time. Turns out its not Rob’s fault at all, he has to wait patiently as you take your 12th daily shower, do your hair 15 times, and change clothes 7 times. Then god help us if its raining on your way, Im sure you can treat that phobia mate, its only water. Then of course we can’t walk 5m without either going into a 7-11 or stopping for a massage. I think you averaged 3 massages a day, kept up even after the brutal one from your mate next to the Soi. Hey what’s that smell? must be the fking durian.

Oh I think I see a Tuk Tuk coming.. “Full Moon Party mate?”. Nice.
