Just like the rest of you i have seen many things and ongoings which surprise me for only a few seconds because its Thailand and strange things happen there but at christmas time i saw something which not only amazed me but also really pissed me off . I came out of Country Roads 2 Bar on the corner of sukhumvit soi 19 in Bangkok and there right in the middle of all the traffic was 2 thai guys leading an elephant along, nothing strange in that but this one believe it or not both sides of the elephant someone had painted advertisements for various bars and restaurants on the elephants skin with white paint and i know it was paint because we attempted to wipe it off. This is totaly wrong because i might be wrong but i reckon the elephant when it sweats will be ingesting the paint through its skin, so most things i see in los i can have a good laugh at but not on that occasion
