Bangkok

Bangers 13/11 - 17/11

After travelling on our lonesome for the past 6 weeks, we hit Bangers, had a few Changs and awaited the arrival of Cunch & Em - regular drinking partners in London and from back home - who were arriving from Kathmandu...... business class if you don't mind! Excitement took hold as Em fell off the trolley as they wheeled through the gates- a few too many Champers in business! This early moment set the tone for the next month of travelling together.

We found awesome accomodation including roof-top pool pretty cheaply near Khao San Road and hit the streets for buckets of Thai whiskey and 50cent phad thais. Both copped a mauling over the next few days!

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK - We hit Patpong Rd for some ping pong action only for the lady bouncer try and rip us off massively! Lucky Bretty was around as he was practically arm wrestling her and made sure we didn't get ripped off. This left us in a pretty foul mood. However every cloud has a silver lining and in our case Mr. Tuk Tuk driver provided this with a ride from hell speeding and swerving his way through busy Bangkok to give us a ride of a lifetime!

HIGHLIGHTS -

- Bangers being cheaper than Phuket.

- Lounging by the roof-top pool in glorious sunshine.

- Drinking buckets on baby stools at roadside bars.

- Rivercruise and Skytrain.

TOOL OF THE WEEK - Goes to our mate Bretty who not only coughed and spluttered like a dead man and developed a wicked absyss, but to top it off....... rocking up with a ginger goatee that looked absolutely mock was the clincher! Tool award number 2 for B.Elliott. Good work Spuddy!
