After a great night at B&J’s with the usual suspects, we managed to wake up at a ridiculous hour and head to the airport, with slightly sore heads I might add. Flying V Australia was slightly disappointing with no upgrade for honeymooners, scarce food and drink, an abundance of kids and a temperamental movie system that crashed every 5 seconds.
Anyway landed safe after what felt like a very long flight to hoards of taxi drivers...i think we both forgot what Thailand was like! Arrived at the hotel, which seemed nice enough until we got into our room. All I can say is Jase is very cranky as he expected 5 star luxury and we got 2 star chic J In saying that we have hot water, air con and a fridge so we can’t complain too much but if these people expect us to buy this timeshare then a little hint, unblock the drain, soften the bed, give us a window with a view other than a wall and give us a toilet that isn’t located in the shower!
First night and we found a pizza joint to gradually ease ourselves into the thai food but then for lunch and dinner the next day thai food it was and well i am already starving although i did brave a Chicken red curry and survived! Before going out Jase managed to find the only pub with the NRL playing so we had a few drinks with some dirty pervy men whilst watching the bulldogs loosing another game. Then i managed to find the only ladyboy bar on the strip which had a thai Metallica band and an old ladyboy who whipped our asses at connect 4 whilst telling us it has problems shitting. We quickly moved on for a feed and then headed home for a quiet night in after getting slightly burnt on our first day.
So all in all, cannot believe the amount of men here with “Asian” friends of the male and female persuasion, managed to meet a few people which is good for us but all seem to be 60+ but having a fun time so far.
Sarah (with Jase watching over my shouder!)
