Day 20...Bangkok

Well we got up today with great hopes for seeing many things around the city Bangkok. We had planned to hit the Grand Palace, get a boat from the pier and everything, well none of that actually happened.......

We headed off from the hotel after a bit of a lie in at round midday. Our first aim was to get to the Grand Palace, we walked around for a while aimlessly, we got the map out but i dont think our hearts were in it today - the heat is very tiring. So we decided to go for a quick cold beer to settle the heads before heading off sightseeing again. We headed to Khonsan cause we knew there was plenty of bars there. Roisin decided to have a Black Russian as her first drink which i suppose is always a sign of things to come! I just had a beer and a club sandwich, Roisin got some spicy chicken sandwich which was so spicy she had to neck the Black Russian. Anyway we enjoyed that drink so much we decided to go to another bar and have another drink. I went up to the bar to get a couple of glasses of Chang, I ordered 2 pints, after he poured them i noticed that one of the glasses had a huge lipstick mark on it, straight away i thought classy establish! The next bit was great though cause when i pointed it out to him he wiped the lipstick off with his finger and looked at me as if he had done me a favour, so i asked him for a new pint, i assumed he knew what i meant but i was wrong, he poured the same beer into another glass,eventually i got what i wanted. We actually stayed in that bar for another pint after - must have been the service or something! We then found another bar down one of the Khaosan sidestreets. We originally ordered 2 Leo beers but the guy convinced us that Beer Chang was the best, well we took him seriously and proceeded to ordrer another 6 bottles. Every order was followod by a roar from the waiter of Beer Chang Gud!

Now my memory actually starts to waiver here so im gonna have to get some information from Roisin. We decided we wanted something to eat, so set about looking for somewhere, ***We actually wanted to look around the markets before getting something to eat*** Roisin had gone into a shop to try on a skirt,which i dont remember***he thought it was light blue and short, it was actually dark green and long*** any somehow i realised that we had left our book of Thailand in the last bar but didnt have a clue were the bar was! I went into tell Roisin. We eventually found it***I (Roisin) actually knew where the bar was*** and ended up settling down for dinner and a few more Chang's (of course) in a restaurant nearby. We ordered One Thai Red Curry and one Green Curry. Now my memory wasnt the best at this stage but fuck me ive never eaten anything so spicy ***I cannot disagree, bugger me, it was the hottest thing ever***,the 2 of us were literally pouring sweat eating these dishes, we had a 2 litre bottle of water which we were chugging down at the same time. ***Dom has actully given up writing at this point as he doesnt actually remember anything else***

So...there we were sweating to bits looking like two pissed tomatoes when two Germans sat down next to us for their dinner, they asked us would we recommend the curry but our look said it all - he was obviously up for the challenge though and ordered it anyway. The four of us ended up chatting over dinner although neither of us were really concentrating as were too busy wiping the tears that were now pouring from our eyes...every sip of water we could feel the steam coming out of our ears...it was hard work eating this...I personally had also established a lisp at this stage as my tongue had given up with the heat. Once dinner was over we decided it was a good idea to head back to the hotel...after a nightcap on the way, so we pulled into another bar where I had a Pina Colada and a banana split and Dom had a JD and Coke and ordered onion rings even though they weren't on the menu (funnily enough the onion rings never came!). After this one we definately went back to the hotel...twas about time!

Was not looking forward to the hangover to come.

Team Drunkards!
