Bangkok Day 2

Day 2 in Bangkok is over and a lot has happened since arriving. I finally got a charger for my camera so I should have some pics in a while.

We went to an Irish bar on Khaosan road last night. Although I normally hate doing that when you go traveling but it was recommended to us by a friend of Jonny's who he randomly met. We stayed there drinking and playing pool (well I didn't play, didn't want to make a show of myself) until about 7 this morning. Met a few Irish, English, Dutch, German, Algerian etc. Was good craic. Especially when me and Jonny invested in a tower of Heineken. The girls we met then bought a tower of vodka and 7up and kindly shared with us. Was a fairly hectic night including a sing-along at the end.

Finally woke up this afternoon and all I could here was rain and the loudest thunder storm I've ever heard in my life. So we stayed around for a bit in the hotel room watching crap sports on tv. Then we got up and got a tuk tuk around for the day. The tuk tuk then brought us to a suit maker to get him some commission. I didn't mind though, no skin off my nose. When we got in there they tried to sell me 2 suits for about 450 euro. I laughed at him. He didn't like that. Got him down to about 200 euro but it was still way too expensive. He was an awful prick though. He started getting thick then so we just walked out.

Went down and got some food then and here we are in an internet cafe. Much cheaper here than in the hotel. We have a 10 hour bus journey ahead of us tomorrow so we are going to take it easy for tonight. Looking forward to sleeping actually. It'll be the first decent nights sleep in since the weekend.

Have fun and talk soon
