Bangkok Nights

Last night was a blast as well. I was persuaded to go out for a few drinks at a club as I’ve not been out since Hong Kong and I worked out I could budget in one night as long as I drank slowly. We had a few beers in the hostel, then went to get a couple for walking to the club, but the 7-11 wouldn’t sell us any. We couldn’t work out why, but we assumed it was a holy day or something. We went back to the hostel to ask the people there and the guy behind the desk (his name is Bad Pitt) was sure it was all bullshit and the clubs would be open. We went to one and it was closed so we got another cab and told the driver to find us a club for THB150. So he drives us to one “Oh, I forgot it was closed”, he says, “Come to my friend’s bar, much better” (yes, we should have known). We still only paid him THB150, but he dropped us off at a scuzzy looking place. We went in and there were girls all lined up on seats against one wall and a load of dodgy looking westerners sat around tables. So we BAILED BIG TIME. Went back to the hostel and found a paper that said it there was a vote the next day. I remember someone mentioning that you can’t drink on vote days so we said this to Brad who just said he didn’t know anything about it and sold us some more beers and we gave up for the evening. And that’s how I ended up in a Thai brothel.
