Touchdown and first night in Bangkok

Flight was not too bad, long and uncomfortable but ive had worse, good selection of films although i think i made a bad choice opting for Babel, def not a happy feel good film. As i watched we flew over Afghanistan and Kabul, rounding Mt Everest, but i cudnt see anything twas on the wrong side of the plane.

Already met some sound peeps, who took us under their wing and straight to the seediest and most lively part of Phrat pong, and what goes on at Phrat pong, Ping Pong. Out first beer outside the hostel was drunk while taking in the sights of 4 half naked thai girls. The whole show itself prob last over 2hrs, while your sat there being lynched of money. We didnt actually make it to the finally as we got bored to be honest, although the highlight or possibly not was seeing a woman pull a piece of string out of her gentalia with rather large pins attached to it, def not for the fainthearted. Oh and were pretty sure the coke bottle act was performed by a post op ladyboy, and not a very convinving one either. We finished the night at a good place playing live music, all the classics were performed very well by a thai 5 piece, one final prob of drinking in the red light district is the fact that any woman in the bar not of western origin is most prob gonna cost you, but if you into that then so be it.

The motto of Bangkok so far for most people is 'anything goes!'
Quote of night 'I dont mind watching but im not gonna give them any money!'
