Ping Pong

As there's a torential downpour happening outside right now i thought i would do an update on what we've been up to for the last three days!

Before coming to Bangkok i was told by someone that Bangkok was the most poluted city in the world, and having only been here for three days its pretty easy to see why. Despite the general haze, smell and unpredictable weather conditions there is defintely a unique charm about Koh San Road.Whether its the Faliraki feel or the cheap buckets there's always something to do, despite the locals hassling you to go to a Ping Pong show, a tuk tuk ride or a 'tour' around Bangkok.

Despite this, we were willingly persuaded to experience a Ping Pong show on our very first night,  and it certainly was an experience. The highlight for me being one of the girls opening a beer bottle and the lid firing off and hitting a guy in the face. She was apolagetic, but i don't think his girlfriend was too amused! The journey back also included our first Tuk Tuk experience. For those of you who don't know what a Tuk Tuk is, it's a cross between a go-kart and a moped. whether or not the driver is meant to pull wheelies and not stop for a single traffic light the whole way is another story though!

Day 2 was pretty uneventful, mainly because Alex decided to sleep for about 18 hours straight, (which to be fair is eay to do in the air conditioned rooms!) We did however eventually head out and ended up in a bar called Rooftop (basically a glorified karaoke bar) where we met up with some fellow travellers, all be it welsh! The highlight being an american guy cerenading his girlfriend and then breaking down in tears on stage, whcih i found rather amusing.

Stay tuned.

Bucket count so far - 4
