i'm more or less stuck in bangkok until the start of the Songkran Festival in a week. for those that have lived in a cave for your entire lives, the songkran festival amounts to what is essentially a 3-day water fight. those equipped with it, run around with large water canons and douse any victim regardless of age, sexual ambiguity, or nationality. basically, i'm waiting around to get my rocks off when t-shirts become transparent with moistness. i'll surely be armed with my camera taking photographs galore - maybe even of women this time.

in the meantime, enjoy my aggregated list of actual names that exist in bangkok which sound either unintentionally pornographic or can possibly be used in the making of pornography:

• "bang sue" district
• "banglapoo" district
• "sukhumvit" road
• the "golden mount" temple
• "surasak" road
• "bangkrak" market
• pra "atit" road
• "panteep" plaza
• "dusit" zoo
• fried "morning glory" breakfast
• "snake farm" (pastuer institue)
• "khlong bang" yikhan (river)
• thanon "damrong rak" (street)
• wat "thong" thammachat (temple)
• "bangrag" district
• goethegasse (alley) - german in origin, i believe, but funny nonetheless
• soi "phun suk" (alley)
• "bangrak" district

and that's just in bangkok! with city names like Phuket and Koh Pee Pee, there's no end in sight to lower and lower levels of immaturity.

i <3 thailand!

(this in no way represents a comprehensive list and go ahead, i dare you to check if i'm making this up)
