I arrived in Bangkok around midday and headed straight for the back packer Mecca of Khao San road. I found somewhere pretty cheap to stay and then went on the hunt to find somewhere to sort out my visa's for Cambodia and Vietnam. My intention is to travel overland to Cambodia, through to Vietnam, up the coast, across through to Laos and back into the North of Thailand. As it was Thursday and the embassies aren't open at the weekend, it was going to take a while which meant I had 6 days in total in Bangkok.
I decided to venture out to a bar and within 5 minutes had found another girl who was traveling on her own. We had a few drinks and arranged to meet up the following night. I spent most of the next day lounging by the pool as I was still pretty tired from my flight.
When I met up with Collete in the evening she had met another lad who was traveling on his own, Peter. We all headed to Bed Superclub which is like Bed in London and Leeds. After going to the toilet I managed to loose the pair of them. I went on the hunt for them; suddenly this bloke grabbed my arm and started talking to me. He asked my name and when I asked his he said "don't you recognize me?" I thought this was some cheesy chat up line so went to look for the others.
Still having not found them I bumped into the same bloke again who then proceeded to tell me that he played football for Marseille and used to play for Liverpool but I still didn't have a clue who he was. He invited me to go to another club with him and his mate but as I was on my own I said I had to find the others first. Eventually I found them and took them to meet this guy. When I introduced him to Peter he said his name was Djibril Cisse, which meant nothing to me but apparently Peter knew who he was. We went to the club with him and his mate and then back to his friend's house where Peter beat him at Pro Evolution, a moment he was very proud off!! We ended up getting home just after 6am.
I spent the rest of the next day sleeping! I met up with the others later on for something to eat and a few drinks and had an early night.
I spent the next few nights meeting up with Collete and Peter and drinking! As you can probably tell I didn't really do much sight seeing but I've done most of it when I last visited. Collete left on the Monday night to go to the full moon party so it was just me and Peter left for my last two nights. On the Monday we went round to Cisse friends house for a pizza and a relatively quiet night. We had planned to meet up with him again on Tuesday but having looked at the pictures more closely and compared them to those on the official website I'm not entirely convinced it was actually him so we decided not to bother! I think we had been conned!
