As I aimlessly wandered the streets of Chiang Mai I came across this...
It's called sepak takraw and is a popular sport in Thailand. Even after my many summers of 'head tennis' with my Dad, Brother and neighbours - in the back garden, a rope between two clothes poles and a court mapped out in spray paint on the grass - I didn't feel competent enough to ask for a game...
In other news, my quiet night turned into a grand nightout with my trek buddies, very much aided by energy boost from vodka and red bulls. I'm staying in a 6 bed dorm with two girls and on my way home I came over all good samaritan and brought back some Thai streetkids for the extra beds. I woke up bolt upright at 7am the next morning and the kids are gone, I srcambled around checking my wallet - luckily everything was there and they didn't rob us. It took a good 10 minutes to reallise that I would never do such a insane thing and it had all just been a vivid dream!! This made even more sense when someone later told me that red bull in Thailand contains small traces of LSD... I think I'll be sticking to coke for a while (a-cola, not cocaine)!!
