Thailand Haiku

Twenty-six hours
Two countries and a sea
I sleep when I can

Bus, plane, train, or boat
Moe sleeps everywhere
Yet she's still sleepy

Every five minutes
I check if my bags are gone.
Don't worry so much

Front flip jump entry
looked amazingly wicked
at least in my mind

A dark narrow cave,
Scuba diving is awesome!
I think I am stuck

Fifty-five hours
Twelve-hundred kilometers
All for two fun dives

All-night sleeper boat
Big storm and heavy swaying
Slept like a baby

Pad Thai street vendors
I waited a month for you.
Can't you cook better?

Cheap single fan room - 
Hot and it comes equipped with
pillow cockroaches

Josephine is gone.
From today, I'm on my own.
... "Your plane's tomorrow?!?"

Thai floating market.
Our Thai tour guide said to us,
"I hope you can swim."

Half kilo, three bucks
Rambutans and Mangosteens
What a waste of baht

How much for postcards?
One for three baht, little girl?
Okay, I'll buy ten. 

One man and three snakes
Right hand, left hand, and his mouth
Best show in Thailand

Snake versus mongoose
They said, "This show, no death," but
That's a dead snake dude!

Muy Thai in Thailand
The best part of the event ...
The kick to the face!

"I give you good price!"
Thailand touts lie through their teeth
Just to make a buck

Old temple builders,
Why do you build such steep steps?
I might slip and fall!

Don't touch me street touts!
I don't care what you're selling!
I won't buy your stuff!

I want some fried rice.
Why must vendors discuss it
when I ask "how much?"

Cute little Thai dog
Did you come to play with me?
... you peed on my leg

Thai food cooking class.
I just ate 5 days worth of food 
in just 5 hours

Pad thai street vendors 
You didn't cook real pad thai!
It's just fried noodles

Big, AC airport
Ten hours of waiting
Doesn't seem so long
