Party time in Bangkok (Part one)

So after Song Khran I decided to see what the party and clubbing scene is all about. Especially because of the fact that I now have students coming over and all they want to know about are the places that they can go party at.

I decided to take two of my students to Silom and see what the party scene has on offer there. We took a van to Victory monument (all roads lead to Victory monument…). There we grabbed a taxi and asked for Soi Song (Street 2), because this is where the clubby part is. After having some warm up beers at home and spending 1 hour of travelling I really needed to go to the loo. So we first went to some half decent looking restaurant (trying to dodge all the Katois and decline numerous offers of sex and massages) and ordered a beer. While the guys ordered me a beer a hastily went in search of the place where I could rid myself of 100 liters (1 bottle) of beer.  (Thank goodness I know enough Thai by now to understand “Throng pai” means straight ahead.) I eventually found it and released the Victoria Falls in the middle of Bangkok. Reliiieeeve.

I went back and we all enjoyed our beer while we asked the waiter to direct us to Soi 2 as we were ready to party now. We paid our bill. And went out to face the Katois (ladyboys) and their offers of massages and sex again. (Not easy being an attractive foreigner in Thailand…) Eventually we found Soi 2 – dodgy side street to the max!!!! Haha. We went in “just to have one beer and check it out”.

We went into the first club with aircon and ordered a beer. Welll after ordering the beer we realized that indeed it would be “just one” One bottle of Singha = 300 baht (WHY WOULD PEOLPLE DO THIS EVERY WEEKEND???)

Our one beer had the following consequences:

So obviously we wanted another one (dit smaak toe mos soos NOG). Then we saw small bottles of Sangsom on the counter and it turned out that one of those was 300 baht and you get mix for free. Well PROBLEM solved. The one bottle turned into two and this was the result:

  

You see I have this alter ego "Brandon" that pops out after some alcohol. Read in the next blog how Brandon "borrowed" a pink bicycle, how there is a new law about drinking in taxis and how Johan was offered a beer with a very happy ending.
