SATURDAY 31ST MARCH 2007

Plan - Swimming pool, football, drinks on Kaoh San Road, pack rucksack, early night . . .

Reality - Swimming pool, football . . . and after eventually beating Arsenal, we had to celebrate somehow.

So . . a San Song bucket is the way to celebrate (the local Thai Whiskey.) We started off so well but, as always, things never go to plan. San Song recommended to everybody, fantastic drink, so we indulged in a couple of buckets. Late night shopping not recommended in street markets after consuming such a drink although our wardrobes have benefitted. Shopping is thirsty work so, whilst sitting with a cool beer, Himmons mentioned that this would be a good time to go and get a tattoo! Please bear in mind that at this time it was midnight but, Bangkok being Bangkok, the tattoo parlours were still open everywhere. Before we knew it we were in a parlour, tattoos being designed and we were running in and out for Mars Bars & Tequila to help with the pain.

Next morning we both woke up after having the strangest dream that we'd gone out the day before, got drunk, and ended up having tattoos - ridiculous we know - as if |!!!
