Today we woke up early and made our way to the Weekend Market.
Absolutely amazing this place is gianormous and spending 7 hours wondering around we badly made a dent on the place. Everything from the kitchen sink to exotic birds could be found at this place. I tried every possible dried fruit under the sun before discovering dried fish and wow the most amazing tastes: dried squid, Tom Yung flavored fish and ship and 100s more different flavours and seafood. We spent hours wondering through the various markets confused overwhelmed but interesting none the less. I also tried coconut ice cream which was wonderful and a number of different fruit juices from lychee to mangosteen to kiwi :)
We headed back to Goys to get changed and get ready for a night out in Bangkok.
On the way we stopped at a local vodka makers stall and brought some herb and honey vodka for the night out.
Arriving to the city we found the celebrations still in full spring and walked up and down the street sampling various foods and drinks! We stopped on Kahoson Road for a meal and finished the rest of the vodka whilst people watching the mass of tourists flooding into the street! It was now about 11pm so we headed to "the Ping Pong Show" exactly what you think it is: international ping pong tournament no no it was a sex show of sorts and something I don't think I will ever go and do again. Firstly the show was free but we had to buy incredibly overpriced drinks, next it was full of seedy old man and young men drooling and groping all the girls. The whole situation was very degrading for women and quite sad to be honest, at no point did the show -which included shooting ping pong balls, darts, blowing out candles and very other comical acts become erotic.
The whole time I couldn't help but laugh at the old men's huge smiles, two dirty Japanese guys groping every girl that walked past. The final part of the show included myself holding a balloon up and this girl firing a dart from her vagina and popping the balloon - in all honesty I s*** myself having to trust the accuracy of this woman's vagina firing a dart across the room at break-neck speed. Luckily I was with two girls and so there were no advances or sneaky ploys to get my attention by the 30 plus show girls.
After this everyone wanted to go out so we went to a club called Insominia which apitamises the sex trade situation in Thailand - a ton of drunk foreigners and two ton of desperate Thai girls - the whole situation for me became quite upsetting for me so I had to leave and wait outside for my friends. I know it is wrong of me to judge others and I did my best not too but the feeling inside the club was overbearing and uncomfortable.
