Bangkok

On our last day we got up to see that our new neighbors happened to be 3 particularly attractive Swedish girls who were very friendly. This made us discuss whether it was worth canceling our travel plans and spending a couple more nights in Koh Phangan. However, the thought of the thousand baht spent on travelling and the fact that our new Irish companion Eoin (Pronounced Owen) had a flight to catch - we went on as planned. We had to get a 3 hour ferry ride to the mainland followed by an hour and half bus ride to Surat Thani train station where we boarded our night's accommodation. About 9 hours later we were woken by the beautiful morning sounds of Thai women trying to sell us things and eventually arrived at Bangkok station just before 11am. We located our hostel just off Khao San road (a notorious backpacker location in Bangkok) and after a wander up and down the road before heading to bed for a cheeky power nap in preparation for the night's events. We got the beers in to watch Everton destroy Manchester United (it was fun being an Everton fan for the night) and then headed to a couple of other bars where we met a couple more guys who Eoin knew from school. After a couple of whiskey buckets each and having great fun haggling with locals trying to sell us wooden frogs we headed to the roads only nightclub where we continously were avoiding the renowned ladyboys. Fell and I (Grieve) were woken by Eoin coming to our room informing us we left the key in the door last night. He then said that him and Walmo were going out (as they are sharing a room on the floor below us), but Felly and I declined as we had a lot more sleep to get. Felly and I then went to Chinatown to witness the end of the ceremonial Chinese New Year celebrations. And after meeting up with our crew we decided it was time to hit up a "ping pong show". Suffice to say we are all now quite scarred after seeing razor blades being pulled out vaginas and sprite being somehow turned into coke, amongst other "party tricks" - my only question is how did these women find out that their vaginas could do such things?! How bored must they have been one day at home...
Anyway that was earlier this evening and the tuk tuk ride home was subdued to say the least. Felly and Eeyore (as we like to call him) have gone to bed and Walmo and I are chilling in an internet cafe, en route to the hostel. Needless to say that none of us are particularly up for anything after our evening's spectacle. Tomorrow we plan to sort out our visas for Vietnam and visit a few temples, and maybe start arranging our travel plans through Cambodia which will begin in a couple of days.
