Take a seat, up front (first pic from thailand up)

This past week we have felt the lingering effects of Song kran and things have been a little bit slower.  All week I had a total of just 4 castings, which is very slow for my Thailand experience. The good news of course is that tomorrow I will be filming my LG TV commercial.

In the meantime this week, my extra time was spent, you guessed it exercising and also tossed in a bit of shopping. Kevin and I headed to MBK mall the other day to explore a little bit. I find it somewhat hilarious how you can bargain in a shopping mall and also the fact that 75% of the products are counterfeit. I picked up a few souvenirs and grabbed a bite while there.

While at the restaurant I confirmed further and interesting observation about restaurants in Thailand. They seem to sit Caucasian people at the windows/ near the front.  Alternatively the locals and the other Asians are sat towards the back of the restaurant. This has now happened about 10 times since I arrived in Bangkok.  

I also took the time to stop by a tailor. It was one recommended to me by a past client (thanks David). I know exactly what I am looking for which is good, and it made the process of pricing out more in my control than theirs. The suit I am looking for is a Navy Blue, single breasted, 2-button suit, with 2 flaps, flat front pants, and a couple dress shirts. We discussed the best quality of wools and silks. I was looking at a super 160 wool. The cost is about 13 000 baht, for one suit and 2 shirts. Now this is not a crazy price by any means, but it’s far from the $99 suits you can get. Over these next few days, I will determine for myself whether I need to spend this significant amount on a custom made suit. The suits from this tailor do vary that they take 2 weeks and several fittings vs. the 24 hr. polyester factory made suits at other tailors. 

We had to bail early on our adventure to run to an emergency casting for Cosmopolitan magazine. On that note, I did get some pictures back from the underwear shoot. I am not a huge fan of them; as a matter of fact I dislike most of them. However, my bookers are happy with the pictures and they know the market.

Also came across these 2 funny sights when driving around: 

I am not sure how well I trust a pirate to work on my teeth

And lastly why bother with tie straps, when you can just stand in the back of the truck and hold the rebar
