Wild/funny/interesting/random pics from Thailand

by bkachinsky | Mar 08, 2009 |

I just got back from Thailand with what could be the best crew of 4 dudes I could think of. I could think of about 200+ adjectives to describe the places and I have even more than 200+ good photos from the trip but here is a small taste:

 

This is an elephant playing the harmonica. Bob Dylan is envious. 
This is the Thailand national cycling coach demonstrating the power of a little bracelet. Despite having positive and negative ions on his side, I don’t think he could have ever knocked over Aaron Ross. 
A community bathing tub aside the freeway in Bangkok. At first glance I thought it was used to wash clothes but soon realized that people were not bringing their clothes in there. I will never complain about a dirty motel shower ever again. 
This 23 flat 23 gap was massive. Think El Toro x 2, add 6 stairs and a big flat in the middle. Footage and way better photos coming to a DVD player near you soon. 
While on the theme of scary (but successful) moments. This box jump was sessioned by a certain someone on the trip. Equally as sketchy was the roll-in. 
After our first day/night of riding around Bangkok we were greeted at our hotel by an elephant strolling by checking out the scene. I looked into trading in my Honda for one but my insurance rates would go up so I decided against it. I don’t think i’d be able to parallel park with it anyways. Only in Thailand. 
I was humbled by the number of bananas this elephant could eat. I thought I was badass because I could put down 4 in one day. This guy scarfed down a whole bucket, peel and all. And that was just an appetizer. Potassiawesome!
Thanks to the Gary, Walter, Doyle, Aaron and all the Thai riders for a great time. I have many more I could share with you (and no, they aren’t all elephants) but spring is here so go ride and have fun!
