Day 1-19/4/08
Bangkok Baby!!!! After an 11 hour flight, 20 minute taxi and a further 30 minute walk we arrive at our hotel gaging for a shower! It's baking and even the locals are saying it's too hot!! Jumped straight in the shower and headed out to Koh san road where we came across gullavers bar. First thing we see-- a competiton of "walk with a golf ball in you're ass stop and release into a glass" safe enough to say we wern't playin that game!! Next bar and we met up wit an Irish couple and a Yank, got in a cple of buckets of samsun and drank till late. D then came face to face with a rat which safe to say had her runnin back to the table in 5 secs flat!!! gd night and headed home.
Day 2 20/4/08-
Woke up late afta jet lag, and a large amount of alcohol consumption, and headed to see our first temple. Booked up our ticket to chang mai and headed for something to eat. Quite in the afternoon but things picked up as we headed off to PAT PONG which was a massive eye opener. Met a guy from LDN innit, who showed us a hip-hop bar/well a thai band covering some hip hop classics such as I wanna F$c* you which was well worth heading out jus too c that. Worked our way down the strip, and found out that anything you wanna see it they got ...ping pong, bottles fruit the lot!! Don't really wanna write wat happend as parents and young children will be reading!! So use your imagination. Also saw a Lady Boy, could tell as we could see it's Adams apple from the other end of the street, never the less I was a bit tetchy about carrying on walking for fear of what lurked further ahead. Night finished got a taxi back to hotel!!
