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.
