OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! I mean ... Here's me gettin hassled left right and centre by all the local tuk-tuk drivers and little old women tryin to sell these s***e wooden frogs and bracelets and s*** -I thought 'ok' I'll do these lads a favour and take them up on their offer to take me and my friends to the 'PING PONG' show! OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! The dirty pigs! I mean, really - the dirty pigs! - If I want my bottle opening I'll use a bottle opener not a ... - Oh aye, she had all sorts up there! There were ping pong balls flying everywhere I searched high and low to find the table. I wa right looking forward to a game but these girls hardly seemed dressed for it - hardly seemed dressed at all really from what I could see when I caught a glimpse past the old pervs letching over!

The stage in this place we were in (down a seedy dark alley in Pat Pong) was like a conveyor belt wheeling out these girls who would then give a 'turn'? for five minutes and the next would be wheeled out - quite literally in some cases, there were some old timers too! But then it got worse! A live sex show played out to Boys to Men! We left!!! But - it had to be done, that's what Bangkok's all about - that and temples!

So from there we had a walk around the markets which are pretty cool but I was so in need of a happy room. So I ended up going in to a gay bar - didn't realise until I got out of the place, I thought the lads were just being friendly! Oh - and that's another thing about lads being friendly - OH MY GOD! The amount of lady boys we've seen - thing is, I can spot them, some people say it's difficult but I don't think so they all have big hands and beards - that's not difficult! It is such a funny place to be though, honestly I've seen nothing like it!

It really is such a mad place though! Anyway ... I've visited the Grand Palace and Wat Pho temple and loads of other temples along the way and I've also been to the National museum today so I feel I've done the touristy stuff now and I'm so so so so ready to relax on the southern beaches now - it's hard work all this ping pong!
