Koh Sahn Road, pad thai noodles and tattoos...
"Amanda! Stop being a wuss. Just go for it!"
"But…."
"But what? So what, what other people think! Just go for it!"
Everybody on the road hears about Koh Sahn Road sooner or later. It is the famous backpacker hangout in Bangkok. Anything you have ever wanted; or thought that you needed, you can find here on this road. Drugs, sex and rock and roll! But we were far too good for that!Everything, and all things, hang out on this road.
But before you can do anything, a traveller needs food. The Thais do some great stuff and roadside food is amongst their best! Don't be put off by a scruffy roadside stall. Chances are that the food is sublime! Here on The Road, pad thai noodles are the way forward. And cheap as chips too (pardon the dreadful pun .
Once you have eaten, it is important to scope "out the joint" and after three turns up and down the road, we finally were able to persuade Amanda to get that tattoo! After a million and one questions, and design choices later, we got her on the chair!
If eyes are the windows to the soul, then Amanda's were like watching an Imax cinema! Even though she looked like she was bricking it, she actually loved it (just look at her eyes)! Here was where Amanda could really let her hair down…..and get that tattoo! And why not? After all, a teacher, who shapes the minds and attitudes of the youth, need also to break their moulds too!
As for us….well it is all part of the adventure! Maybe we will get permanent ones when we eventually find our home?
