Day 5/6/7 *Leaving Thailand* Accessing Indian Collective Noosphere

Blessings,

So is been few days since my last post i been very busy with jet laged still :) or maybe too much chilling and also didnt have much net access and was very busy catching up with updating my operative system to the must complex of all INDIA..

I left thailand leaving Bangkok on an AirAsia Flight which also i want this blog to be a powerful information source for those travelers that are either heading to the same areas and are looking to synch with deals tricks plans and ideas on my travels.. over the years i also have followed a few travelers blogs and have helped me enormously to keep me up to date with travel ideas and plans.




The King of Thailand has the best promos and one of the must amazing clothing line!










Anyways AIr Asia is ASIA's # 1 budget airline was just nominated airline of the year in asia and is one of my favorite airlines of all times not just because of its ridiculously prices but because of its great service! their home headquarters is based in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and they fly all over asia few europe cities and i heard rumors soon LAX..

You can find crazy deals for example flights from india to bangkok for 70US dls or from Kuala Lumpur to Cambodia for 40 dls or from Kuala to South India for 60 dls or from Kuala to Haneda Tokyo for 120 and to new zealand bla bla anyways is a really awesome airline and u guys should definitely try it.. bookings should be in advanced to get the best airfare all sales are with taxes and make sure u download your boarding pass to your phone they have barcode scanners so u fly directly to gate!


I landed safely to New Delhi making my 4th time to india a warm welcome.. passed trough customs with few smiles and asking me if my earlobes hurt :) then when i arrived i found out about the horrible attacks to mumbai :(







then i went for a taxi inside the airport dont get the taxis outside since those are pirate ones is cheaper and secure to get the government taxies inside the airport.. anyways i found a japanese guy that was wondering around and we slipt the taxi and went for the cosmocropolis of the "Grand Bazzar also aka name Pajarganj! or aka Cafe Beirut as my friend Ananaya said or also i named it the bomb squad since this place last year looked like a bomb exploded and looked like a war zone





anyways as soon as i arrived to the Ganj i sawa big elephant that was taking a big dump in front of a business and the guy came out and kick the elephant was a very surreal thing to see landing to india..
( o yeah dont give the ticket to your taxi driver until he delivers you exaclty where you want to go if not they will just drop you off where they want to )





i met up with my good friend Sandy DJ dust from china and we went to get some cold lasis then slep all day till the next..

There is a place i always stay here in the Ganj is called HOTEL NEW KING the owners are super nice and i am their favorite customer i been staying here for years and they are super nice to always see me again and they have me prepared a nice room and stuff usually. the hotel is super cheap is like 3 dls a night but its steaming hot to the point of hallucinations..





So then next day ( friday ) i had a gig in New Delhi with Nittin so had to get all my set ready and headed to the party, the rumor spread quick about the party so a lot of people from the hotel joined us and we all went together.. I also saw a influx of Mexican Travelers i met 3 mexicans in hours of being here even some mexican guys were on the plane with me from bangkok was nice to see this guys traveling also expanding their operative systems..


Then we went to pick up my good friend celeina from san francisco she is in india doing some shopping and it was perfect to coincide the dates to travel a bit together..




we went forward to the party the crazy taxi ride there was epic and after a while we made it safe from the video game driving..

The party was off the hook me and sandy brought the dancefloor tp a state of extasis people were dancing to the 180+ high frequency sounds was awesome the cops showed up so they made us turn the sounds for bit which was a bummer but nothing like a good old fashion baksheesh to clear up the space and continue dancing! then we went to the after party and dust played an awesome set!




then headed back to the ganj and slep all day and now i am writting this.. so got to go start my day :)







Goddess Bless you!

4Th Day Exploring the Hustling Market of Pratunam Bangkok Largest Market

Blessings,

I was reading it takes 1 day per time zone to recover from jetlag so i made the math and i crossed 12 time zones so still have a few more days to recover my circadian rhythms going..




Today was a more of a chill day i woke up @ 3am last night and couldn't go back to sleep until 8am this morning and woke up @ 11am and rushed into the streets into the Pratunam Market which is Bangkok's largest whole sale market on quest for some gear and curiosities.

http://wikitravel.org/en/Bangkok/Pratunam


















The Area is pretty high tech with mixed of old asian 80s architecture and some nice buildings mixed with stands inside and outside the streets..
not much to say about the market other than there is nothing but western style clothing like the one america and its allies tell the people how to dress so everybody comes to get their latest polo t shirt and brand name fake brand copy made in china..
i was hoping to find some nice authentic tribal clothing from thailand but just kept getting walled by all the nonsense clothing so i just figured if i mean to have what i need i will so instad of walking with frustration looking for things i was just checking things out more chilled without expectation just flowing and drinking a coco juice..

i was in the need of cold gear since i will be in the himalayan mountains of india next week and didnt bring any protection sincei knew i would just get some new stuff while i was there so actually my backpack is completely empty..





Grabbed lunch and got home right after today's day is filled with details but i wont get into them too tired to write now.. but i found this two taxi drivers that both had the big finger nail long weird paradigm i documented them..














i was also stuck in traffic today for 1 hour but i was able to snap a few pics along the way










Dream Mode ON

3rd Day exploring the great Khao San Road Backpackers Central Matrix

So still feeling jet lagged and is taking a few days to recover time zones and reconfigured my cells to the new sun alignment but slowly and steady i am moving towards that direction..




Woke up and rushed into the Great "Khao San Road" its Thailand's backpackers zone where many "hippies" "budget travelers" and weirdos hang out, its like the parallel dimension of Pajarganj grand Bazarre bizzare.. Filled with many shops selling nice stones which mostly are big time scams which i even know some people that have fall for them jijiji anyways as soon as you "Enter" the hyper space you enter into one of this "backpackers portals" like i said just like Pajarganj in Delhi, Thamel Street in Katmandu, etc etc filled with tourists going around shopping like there is no tomorrow hustling prices on the background, tour guides trying to suck you into tourists traps, and really evil food ready to be served for tourist.




Anyways this portals are all very fun actually its like a microcosmos of the local areas infused with a pinch of psychedelic madness, so after exploring around and evading all the traps, stares, and shinny objects, and beautiful tourist ladies :) i cross the outer twilight zone of Khao San Road on a mission to find a guy named Yuan which my sources confirmed me that he is a really awesome leather weaver and since i needed repairs to my Biosuite i was desperately looking for him.

in Thailand the English spoken dialect is not as fluent as other parts of the world even in the twilight zones so was very hard to communicate and maneuver trough the alleys and directions all they say straight straight so i just kept going straight :)








I had to make an organic fuel stop and try the delicious coconut yellow curry was nice.. After i contunue my quest into the alleys and when i found mr right guy but as soon as he saw the big damage my boots had he declined to repair them told me was beyond his control and i should visit a technician he directed me to go straight and take left then right then left then straight then right and in front of police station near the hostel "dhskdhskd" then behind the alley "jdksjdksd" next to the dog that is peeing right now in front of the tall pole outside the bakery i will find a guy in the street that can complete the job..








Without expectation i embarked in the journey to find this mystery man i continue following the directions as marked in the lord of the rings map until i found what it appear to be a shoe area in the outer realms of Khao San Road near the fake police ids and teacher diplomas i saw this man in the street and i approach him showed him my shoes he say go straight and i finally appear to have found my man! there he was sweating negotiating a big $3.00US dl deal with what it sounded and looked like a Israeli national :) as i waited on standbye he checked me out and said what you want! i said listen man i need repair!
he say i am the only one around here that can do this job and for that you will have to pay $900.00 Baht ( 1 meal equals = 35 Baht ) so i was like wow really damn! so he say yes man i know tabi shoes i am a master..





So i sat in his office chair in the middle of the street and he just started talking and talking.. The man i was looking for its non of the less than Mr Fabricio An Italian from napoles father with an Egyptian Mother born in Germany and raised all over world.
This guy showed me his 3 different names as he holds three passports and the first words that came from his mouth is i traveled all over the world man all south america, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, Chile Uruguay, Chile bla bla and he say he is been in jail in all of them as well! This guy is an AV Porn star that lived in Japan for 5 years and was married 16 times and had 5 Japanese wives so his statement..







The whole time he was talking he was telling me not to fall in love with japanese woman since they were PURE EVIL and to not MARRY them as well he litterary talk for about 6 hours the same subject telling me his stories of how he was put into jail for having sex with the General of the Nagoya Police Department Jefe wife and how they put him in jail for 1 year for being a sex hooker and bla bla and how he was pissed that Japanese woman now days bring Africans to Japan and he is very disappointed on this.. anyways as i listened to his story i was enjoying a delicious "Detox" blend juice made of Beet and Celery and Carrots and Aloe and all kinds of alien fruits as well as trying the local sweets and fruits..








As we were hanging out many tripped out locals showed up friends of the technician and they all share similar stories and exchanged laughs and points of view :) was a very constructive conversation over all!







Then right after my service to my feet shields were done and they are like new now.. very satisfied with the technicians work..
As i exited and enter the matrix again of Khao San Road i crossed the asteroids and comets into the outer space to take a taxi back to my place, unfortunately all the taxies that stop didnt know where my address was so i literary had to stop over 30 taxies in the period of 1 hour at same time was very entertaining since there was a cultural dragon festival happening in front of me with live music and many rigshaws trying to make me go check out the famous ping pong show which involves a woman pushing out balls and other objects out of her sacred vault i was really surprised to hear this.. but seems like is very popular around thailand..

Anyways tired of writting going to bed now..
Tomorrow next stop?

PD i leave you with a nice pic of the thai royal pimp mafia family nice style!!!





With love

First day out in bangkok!

Blessings,


Woke up today around 7am this morning still super jet laged and still i am.. did some online data mining and got up and went for breakfast to explore the city..






My friend lives in a remote village in the outskirts of Bangkok so there isn't much happening around here so i went on to explore the village and ended up in this really tripped out kind of spa pool area as i was walking every person on bicycle will kind of laugh at me while driving making the road even more fun and exciting as people were having a good time i guess checking me out walking in this area..








i Entered what it appear to be a restaurant and after 15 minutes of sign language i was able to get the menu to found that its only on Thai so i drew a vegetable and rice and chicken and i was able to get a custom order :) while i was eating i guess the rumour spread of a weird guy eating in the town so more and more crowds started coming to check me out while i ate, i felt like in a zoo but since i am used to this i started engaging to people and ask them to come and hang out to not stare but to talk and chill..






After that i left the area and chilled at this nearby temple where i snap a few photos and went back home..







Its so hot here i had to take 2 showers already and i am still burning.. got to get used to the tropics weather!






going to take a nap!

Towards Thailand

This is my first post on my new Travel Log been wanting to do this for years but never really got around it so lets see and explore what the outcome is of this experience..






Left San Francisco Int Airport towards Tokyo Japan flight was mellow very sleepy food and service truly sucks for United/Continental nothing will ever compare Asian Airlines or Just about any other airline worldwide as far as service, food and inflight entertainment services..







Landed in Tokyo and heard there was a 7.1 Earthquake earthquake happened @ 9am i think and i landed around 2pm so didn't get to feel it ( not interested in feeling earthquakes either )

After a long 9 hour stayed in Tokyo my plane left to Bangkok and safely arrived in the tropical subtropics of Thailand..







I am staying in my friend's Sheilhas House she is out of town so i have the whole house to myself in this really cute thai village with a lake canal and a trippy cat as bed companion..

Now to explore the city and get some original Thai Food!!

Blessings
