bangkok dangerous

just an amusing thing.

my thai friend somphon, bade and i were driving in the streets of bangkok from a night out late last year when we ran into a detour. somphon opened the window to ask a bystander what was happening, and when he turned to us dear foreigners to explain what was causing the delay, he said that a hollywood film was being shot right ahead of us.

"ask him who's the actor in the film," bade told somphon.

"arrgh," protested somphon, but he knew the most painless way out of it was to do as he was told.

"i swear if it's colin farrell, i'm getting out of this car," i told bade.

"nicolas cage," somphon reported.

and we drove happily ever after.

a few months later, it was somphon's turn to visit. while he, bade and i were killing time at mall of asia waiting for his flight back to thailand, we passed by the cinema to check out movie posters.

"hey look, somphon," bade said. "bangkok dangerous."
