Back to Reality


Our last night, all sun-kissed.

The fun bar across from our hotel.

View from our roof!

Some aqua-velva with a gross thong.
(No, those are not Josh's buns of steel.)

The 'Rambo' boat to our island oasis.

The lame waterpark.

Home-slice in full effect.


The only way we got through our cab
ride to Pattaya.


View from our balcony in Bangkok.


To Thailand and back already. Read the chorus below from the popular 80's song "One Night in Bangkok."

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

No joke. Guys, girls, you can't tell. Either way, they all want a "bed buddy" for every night of the week, which put me (Molly) on the defensive when we'd innocently walk around looking for a place to grab a bite.
We landed in Bangkok late Friday/early Saturday morning. The heat and humidity at that hour took all of us (Josh, our friend Rich, and myself) by surprise. We got to our modest but clean hotel around 2AM. The boys grabbed a couple drinks and some food while I zonked out.

The next morning we took the most ghetto 2 hour ride into Pattaya any of us have ever experienced. Some old piece with no rear suspension so our asses felt every bump. The first thing our driver said was "Need to get gas." Next he says "Three minute. Stop at my home." "What for?" we asked. "Music," he says. So 10 minutes later, the music is plugged in but the sound is barely audible, "Huh. No bass," says Josh. And just then the loudest 3 seconds of our lives happend as our driver pushed the cord into place. (Perfect timing, Josh).

An hour into our ride we took a pee break and insisted on getting some beer. None of us had any hair left because we pulled every last strand out while this guy weaved in and our of traffic at about 100 MPH.

Finally....Soi 8. Pattaya, Thailand. The Flipper Lodge. Rooftop pool with drinks and food overlooking the beach. That first night we swam, ate dinner at an Irish/Thai restaurant, walked the area and got the cheapest massages in the entire universe! 1 hour massages = roughly $10!!!! Needless to say, we got massages every day.

Day 2 was a trip on a ferry to an island for some swimming and soaking in the sun.

Day 3 was a trip on our rented moped to the saddest water park we've ever been to. We grabbed lunch at a local restaurant, looked at some cowboy boots and home to shower up. We walked to the Hard Rock hotel for tapas and drinks. That night the boys went out and saw a once in a lifetime kind of show. I'm not sure how I should word this so it's suitable for all audiences....Um....women shoot darts, or open bottles from the most female parts of their bodies. I'm going to stop there.

The next day was our last. So Josh and I took our moped for some coffee at a little shanty that overlooked the bay. We grabbed drinks at a couple different places, went up to our pool and before we knew it, we were leaving for the airport.

Thailand was a lot of fun. The actual area we were in , Pattaya, we'd probably never visit again. It's on the dirtier side and attracts the types of people (men) that are looking for one night companions. It's not what you'd call, "family-friendly." But Josh especially was due for some time off so it was a fun, quick getaway.
Above, you'll see some of the pictures from our trip!!! Miss you all.

Love,
Molly, Josh and Chloe (our pug)
