I have a few over the years like going to the toilet during the night in a hotel (basic) in Nakon Si Thammarat and the entire floor was covered in them. 1.00 a.m. but i checked out immediately. Was filthy and i didn't notice when i arrived. But my late mate Stefan tops them all. He was having a beer at home one night and went to toilet. While there the power went off. So he found his way back in the dark and took a mouthful. Cocky with beer was what he got. Best advice is never take food into accommodation in Asia as they can smell it for sure. I spray weekly here in Thailand but still had first one in months last week as rain brings them out so i am told. As i said, like politicians, they make my skin crawl. Give me a rat anyday and i have lots of rat stories also. Mostly from my fav country of Malaysia.

Bloody miners. Some went to Melbourne. If you ever listen to an Australian bloke called Lee Kernaghan he sings a song called "Bag Town" (Griffith) which is where my Grandmother lived for some time. She met her husband (blade shearer from Swan Hill) there and they were pioneers of growing rice in Australia. Cheers

Rats on a stick in Lopburi market years ago. No i wasn't tempted. Insects all over the place. Roi Et indoor market has huge piles of fried crawlies along with sushi, pizza, squid on a stick (my fav), and all other manner of curries and stir fries. One of the best markets in all Thailand along with Mukdaharn street market. Hardly a tourist in sight also. Beer from 7 pull up a stool and it doesn't get much better than that. ( one day a guy with a baby elephant walked past). Only tried insects once and as told they tasted just like potato crisps. Mums family moved to Sunshine in Mel where I was born. Her father was killed in a plane crash (Foker friendship into Bass straight), from Hobart to Mel before i was born.

I was staying in a cheap hotel in the tropics and what must have been a cockroach ate a small round hole in my best shirt....probably because the shirt had been sweaty that day. I did see a big one when I got up at night.
Hadn't noticed any cockies earlier....they were complete night owls.

Just to really 'gross' you out I did read a story some time ago of a bloke in China that was making a 'fortune' out of maggot meal.
