Getting the initial fittings for our tuxes. And groped by men.

Of course having a break for food on sticks...

...and wide eyed, small headed, rubber chicks.

Heath finds the meaning of it all in the information booth.

"Sir, may I recommend foam pads for your girly shoulders?"

Khao San Road - and one of the 1000 or so tailors.

Looking slick, but they're not done yet.

Hopefully this doesn't become habitual. Unless I like it.

'Super Pussy'. That sounds like an classy, family friendly place!

I'll give you a hint - this wasn't written by hand.

When flip flops aren't allowed - Rent-a-Shoe has your feet covered.

Geometrically arranged spheres of meat are always delicious in my book.

Pad Thai from one of the many street vendors.

Do you have any Cat Stevens? OH DOUG YOU BASTARD!

Almost there - just cufflinks, bowties and nipple tassles needed.

"You're not on the list, you're not coming in mate."

All we need is are top hats, rabbits and our own magic show.

Happy Mr. Verhaar - the first email for our mailing list.

Probably the luckiest girls in Bangkok, perhaps in all SE Asia.

Heath's obviously not a Poi fan. Or feels diarrhea coming.

I can sell you anything. Even a Thai club sandwich.

Oh hill tribe girls - no one wants your wooden frogs.

Except possibly Heath who's amazed by their "ribbet!"

...we'll reconvene in 2 months in Hong Kong, and head towards London...

I calculate 4 months of silliness and charitable hijinks ahead.

Blitzing of Khao San Road - 60 emails and $6 collected. And Naked.

The early planning of tuxedotravels.com. Thanks for the Penguin Kiji!

On a mission across town to find a mythical battery...

...trying not get get emphysema on the way...

...finally reaching the Pantip Plaza electronics mega center.

Yes! Monks can buy flashy electronics and still be cool with Buddha.

I guess I'll start on the top floor and work down...

...IT'S ALIVE!! Screen slightly blotchy but data intact after ocean drown!!

Robert Zwick meets me in my office - the Indian curry house with wifi.

Balloon sellers make my OCD seem like baby talk.

Immorally introducing the Danish boys to Nana Plaza.

Noodles vendor and fake ID store behind. A regular scene.

CHIANG MAI! My room's balcony at an old town house.

Part of the expansive Chiang Mai night bazaar. Spices? No, I'm set.

The tazer, gun, knife and samurai sword stall. "We're slashing prices."

A dinner/entertainment combo - most excellent.

If you look carefully you'll see she's looking at me lovingly.

I'm ALL ABOUT 'agreeable diversions' when I travel.

The giant pigs came to seek vengeance for his porky brothers.

More of the night market. I honestly couldn't want any of it less.
