Day 1, second leg
Arrived in Bangkok again after about an 18 overnight train ride from Chiang Mai. Arrived back at the hotel by about 8am so had to wait nearly 3 1/2 hours for my room to be ready that they had forgot to book for me. Had to sample the banana pancakes again as they wern't all that up north. Got bitten by something on the train on the way back, it must have been a right critter as there way blood stains all down my arm. Just chilled in the afternoon and had a few beers as I was shattered from the journey back. Then went for a power nap to recover. Heat here in Bangkok is not as bad as it was when I first arrived. Whether I'm becoming used to it or it's just cooler I don't know. Andy and Nathan have had to delay their return to the capital as they got gattered and didn't feel like travelling, I suppose I'll link up with then tomorrow at some point. Macken has got his flight but I've got no idea when he touches down tomorrow, I'll just have to wait for him at the hotel. They show the premiership football all the time over here, basically on matchdays, its on for 24 hours a day so not much time for sight seeing (just kidding). Saw most of the major sights last time I was here so might nip out for some shopping at some point (and to replace those bloody shorts I got in Chiang Mai that were too small). Then it's just waiting for the Mack to turn up so we can hit the bars and he can sample the Bangkok nightlife.
Day 2, second leg
Well the Macksta has arrived. He got here about 9pm so I spent the day drinking with the hotel manager (Pat) who kindly let me demolish his bottle of black label whisky for free. Macken had a good introduction to Bangkok, he'd only been here about 10 minutes when a fight erupted in the hotel bar. A Thai guy decided to smash his mate aound the head a few times with a metal bar with large hooks at the end. They both got carted off by the old bill - classic. We then carried on making merry and tried going clubbing but everything was pretty much closed by that time. Just ended up back at the hotel drinking Sam Som (thai whisky) and their equivalent of red bull, which tastes like cough mixture. Am nursing a very sore hangover today. Will probably go and watch some Muay Thai tonight at one of the stadiums, then probably fly to Ko Samui tomorrow at some point so not much drinking today me thinks!!!
Day 3, second leg
Well guess what?? Yup, another hangover today. Went out to a bar called Gullivers last night after going out for a lovely meal at a place called the Silk Bar. Had a massive Jack Daniels session. However, it's not all bad news, I went for a two hour thai massage a minute ago and hey presto, the hangovers gone. Two hours of massage only cost me 4 quid. I now know what to do every time I drink too much. Will probably just chill tonight and steer clear of the alcomohol. Am flying to Ko Samui tomorrow evening so will have a night there then get the speedboat over to Ko Tao the next day. Am hitting the beaches just in time to chill out over Christmas then start my diving course the day after boxing day. Well, have a good Christmas everyone, I'll update you all on my adventures once I've got to Ko Tao.
Merry New Year,
Dan XXX
