Expat Confessions: Things We Should Have Done by Now, But Haven't [S6.E14]

Greg and Ed bare their souls with 'expat confessions':
things in Thailand they are embarrassed to say they have never
seen or done, but that they should have, given their years in the
Kingdom. 


Ed begins by admitting he's never travelled to Laos, Burma
or Malaysia, despite them being right next door and highly
recommended. Greg talks about some of his trips and agrees, it's
a pretty startling omission, especially Laos, which almost
everyone agrees is worth a visit. Ed vows to make it
right.


Greg confesses he's never been to legendary late night
establishment Wong's, which may have lost some of its luster but
which used to be a MUST go - just not for Greg, apparently. Ed
follows that he's never been to Sukhothai, despite his love of
ancient temples and all the photography opportunities. Greg then
talks about never having scuba dived, even though it is on the
list of almost all expats and a lot of tourists. Ed discusses his
PADI class and argues that it lives up to the hype.


Ed last laments he's never been to Pai, even though it's
the hippie capital of Thailand and therefore the home of his
tribe. Greg talks about his adventures there many years ago
filming a movie. Greg finishes up by confessing that he's never
taken a Thai cooking class or even cooked Thai food. Not everyone
likes to cook, but in twenty years one would think Greg could
have gotten around to it. To the kitchen!


We close with some confessions from our listeners, ranging
from khlong boats to muay Thai to temples.
