after 15 hours 2 flights 6 beers! My long awaiting trip around the globe finally starts!

i'm met off the plane by a stranger of 3 years Robbshaw!! and Chynon( thai mate, tuk tuk driver) and straight off with a bang drinking whiskey and soader and smoking bongs till the early hours! then going on a crazy adventure around bangkok with Chynon, then later alone! only problem here is i had no idea where robbshaw lives! so find myself in a hotel near koh san road in a mess waiting till the morning for Chynon to take me home has he works in the koh san area!!!! the coming days sees me doing more of the same things very little sleep, and not much eating, but good fun!

3 days into my trip i drive around Bangkok pretending i want to buy suits in different tailors, as tuk tuk drivers here get 200 baht everytime they take a westerner to certain shops!!! a bit of a random drinking activity but helps out chynon loads!!!! at the end of our trip i see this beautiful chinesse girl called lai ping (or renee has she like to be called)with a back pack walk by, i get chynon to stop the tuk tuk i had to go chat to her!!!! she was keen to chat!!! so we hang out together! she was from Hong Kong, we spent 3 days together mostly on Koh san road or near by drinking chang! and generally have some good times!!! then her time in Thailand was over and she headed back to reality(home). I must say was sad to see her leave!!!!

For me? it was to meet up with Martin, and some more boozing! we decided to head away from the big crazy city and after 3 buses 1 tuk tuk and a boat (16 hours) we were in Koh Pha gnan, one of the thai islands, and to be met by ben, and straight into a all day drinking sesh, and doing some catching up!!!! and getting some much needed sun! on the beach!!!!

here some crazy times unfold, basically constant partying!!! after a second days boozing with ben, mike and martin, the other three head off to bed, or to fall in love, whilst i head to harveys bar and meet up with 2 irish guys, and convince them to head to haad rin, bit od a pointless journeys has we had a bucket drunk it as soon as possible then onto some more drinking near the hotel!!!! then to the nearest 7/11 where we bought some booze to sink on the beac( good times) and soon onto keel, then 2pm straight back to harveys for yet another all day drinking sesh, about 9pm fell aseep on the floor, only to be picked up by richie, and taken to the half moon party, where i spent most of my time hulusonating on the floor, talking to this giant face!!!!! and also being delivered booze by richie. my night then came to an end in the early hours, only to be woken by a drunken ben to come meet him at 9am and has i walk out the door richie appears then onto a bar in the middle of nowhere, where i spend 3 hours boozing with ben richie and kevin(from south africa) until ben keels on a pool table and no chance in waking him, leave ben sleeping with some thai people looking after him, and onto a thai kareoke bar richie heads off home, then i spend the next 7 hours seeing kareoke in thai with some thai people( well random that was) but was a bit smashed at this point!!!!! then was met by ben, and end up in a house party on the beach drinking a smoking only to wake up cuddling bens leg with loads of people looing on, time to make an exit!!!! a little chill out at ben's and onto another bar where we week and english couple and sink red wine all day, untill we keeled! the next few days were prety much similar!!!!!
