North Thailand

Visting Jazzee, my mate in Northern Thailand
      the sights i seen i can describe only as astound
        that i would only see once in a life time
          and would like  to put this accross in rhyme

            I travelled eight hours North of Bangkok
              all the views taking on stock
                on a bus, stifling hot and brash
                 but cost a pitance of food and cash

                    Arrived in Nokon Sawan late doors
                     looking back now,was well worth the cause
                       he took me to see crocdiles monkeys and bats
                        for the latter i must take off my hat

                           The monkeys were amazingly cool
                              my jaw dropping open, locals thought i a fool (lol)
                                1000s gathered the road all along
                                  some only babies,others dominantly strong

                                     Yet i sat on a bench feeding nuts from my hand
                                       apprehensive at first,but then i did land
                                         a sense of calmness that they also sensed
                                           i gained their trust and felt influenced.

Travel outside one's usual area is always educational, broadening, and often quite enjoyable. I enjoyed your account of this adventure.
