I've officially knighted myself Caitlin the Mosquito Slayer.

It's the title I deserve after my action-packed shower experience at this super-budget hostel I stayed at in Chiang Mai. I’d intended to spend one quick night there, but like giving birth and surprise! it’s twins!, one quickly turned into two. And as the normal-smelling, NOT hippie backpacker that I am, I obviously showered.

The bathroom was a cozy 16 square foot all-in-one shower/toilet. It was adorned with mosquitos and even a poop TP-filled trash can (don't clog the toilet!). Totes adorbs.

But I'll let my picture explain the experience:

A: Humongo mosquito someone else smashed on the wall.

Note: Drawn to scale.

B: Towels, clothes, and toiletries hanging on the only rack. Notice the placement of it: above the poop toilet paper-filled trash can.

Fun fact: After placing my items on this rack, I saw a light that I'd never seen before. Suddenly I was kneeled on the floor praying to a new and almighty God that my stuff stay put and NOT fall in.

C: Said trash can below filled with soiled TP. This is why I opt, instead, to clog the toilets while traveling. 'Cause eff that.

D: This is the 5th mosquito that I spotted while in the shower.

D.O.B: 1 week ago
D.O.Death: In like 2 secs, bitch. RIPASAP

E: OH please. Mess and I SMACK you. WHO'S next?!

F: The in-shower electric water heater that looked a liiiiiiittle sketchy. Continued my prayers so that it wouldn’t break and electrocute me.

G: Shampoo and soap on the who-knows-how-clean, wet hostel bathroom floor. I tried not to think about this one.

Badass bather level: Master.
