Margaritas in Thailand

After a long hiatus, I've been able to escape and make my way back to reality, oops there goes gravity....  Can you imagine the shock when I was searching the web for interesting spots to enjoy a fresh fruit margarita and found this?  Apparently  Holiday-Rentals.co.uk is a really cool place to find homes in Thailand to rent for short periods of time.  I clicked through a few and found one just outside of Bangkok, which seems to be home of the only Margarita Bar in Thailand


I immediately clicked on the site and before I knew it, I was on my way to a fantastic adventure.  My trip started in Bangkok where I took advantage of a wonderful 3 bedroom house.  I took advantage of some traditional cooking classes and ............  BOOORING!!  Where's the margaritas, you ask???

Ok, here's the scoop.  I met up with this 6 1/2 foot dutch guy and his wife.  We quickly bonded and I explained my dilemma.  He nodded in complete understanding, and voila! his wife pulled out a bottle of don julio!  HEAVEN!  We scrapped up some citrus thingie called yuzu, some crazy fruit and a muddler.  He had no sugar or agave, so we used honey!  Man that was good.

The next morning we set out to a small village where we heard that we could ride elephants!  Of course, we put together a flask or 3 of our margarita concoctions.  I wish someone though would have told me about local law.  I had no idea that it was illegal to drink and ride elephants.  And, so I landed in jail!  Phuket to be exact.  I just got out last week.

And, anthony bordain I am not....  My butt is staying put for the next few years!  (especially since its a condition of parole!)  GOOD NIGHT
