Bangkok Boomerang

Now Bangkok is something else. By the time I got to Khaosan road on Sunday I had been awake for 52 hours so I hit the hay for 16. Rooftop swimming pools, monsoons, cold beer and tanned bods...awesome. I was there for 5 days and really enjoyed it. The food stalls are so cheap! Delicious Pad Thai for 25 Baht (50p). I met a French guy called Neol, and we spent a day together exploring, then in the evening he took me to the red light district (Nana) which was seedier then a yeoman's bap. It was full of 50 year old sallow-faced Englishmen with 18 year old Thai girls / ladyboys. I resisted the very strong temptation to contract ghonorrea and low self-esteem, and opted instead to get pissed and go back to Khaosan Road. Where I was promptly crotch-grabbed and pick-pocketed by a gaggle of ladyboys. They only nicked 1000 baht and not my passport, so I wasn't about to risk getting bashed in with 10 stilletto heals or arrested for the sake of £20.


Then I took a day trip to the old capital of Thailand (called Ayuthaya). Very beautiful...many old temples sagging with gravity due to no foundations and being built on mud. These guys should've learnt a thing or two from the Egyptians. Met some really nice people on the bus there.


Then, Thursday night in Bangkok was the Edition festival in a venue called "Zen". I met up with Sammi Adami's friends (expats who live in Thailand), and it was AWESOME!! The best night I've been to in years. The venue was absolutely amazing, and DJing were Bodyrox, Sandy Rivera, Ferry Corsten and Marcus Schultz. I met them all and gave them my new track "Control"...so, hopefully I'll hear from them! The top floor was open air on the 20th floor and had a panoramic view from the centre of Bangkok.


I'm in Chiang Mai now in the north of Thailand (12 hour bus ride from Bangkok) and it's so chilled here. I've been here 3 days and will post a blog after I've been trekking in the mountains!

Thank you for reading my ramblings...
ta ta!
