Bangkok, Thailand
Back in the Big Bad city. The train ride here was a fun one, excitedly envigorating in the sense that I didn't sleep on it. I may have drifted off for about 10 minutes sometime after sunrise, but that's it.
I read.
There were a few other foreign travellers in my car, one of whom turned out to be Anna, a Romanian Vet whom I'd met at the Half Moon Party, my first week on Ko Pha Ngan, back in May. We chatted a bit and I also met Justine, the German whom Anna was sitting with. Justine was excited by the idea of seeing Bangkok's sex district and Anna seemed interested as well, though she was headed back to Ko Pha Ngan and might not be stopping for the night in Bangkok.
She didn't, and Justine and I hit Pattong. I got say, I was exhasuted by that point, as I'd been up about 36 hours straight at that point. As it turns out, there's no strip clubs in this area of Bangkok. You can only watch Go Go dancers who are wearing bikinis, or the ping pong shows. We ended up at another ping pong show. I stayed well clear of the darts this time round and to be honest, was pretty bored within five minutes. The only halfway interesting act was the lesbian bubble act, as opposed to the straight lesbian act. The bubbles were neon pink and green and looked really cool under blacklight. That was the most interesting thing for me. I felt really bad yawning during one act when a girl was doing something impressive. I don't remember what, just feeling guilty for my lack of enthusiasm. I decided not to stay out that late, and went home to pass out in bed.
Today was a lazy sort of day, just got some errands done, and had some lunch. Made a few appointments to pamper myself tomorrow, Bangkok's fun for that. No, I'm not talking about that sort of thing. Geesh.
