Back to the big city

---

got the bus to bangkok, no drama, went the dentist, had a great indonesian
meal at the central mall. Expensive, but nice. Booked into a crappy room in
Khao San and by then it was the evening. We went to check out a few bars
down on Soi Cowboy, which was an eye opener. Five star bar had a great band
and they even let tourist up to play a few numbers, a couple of old english
guys were pretty good. they got someone to sing 'hey joe' which was
interesting as every time they tried to wind teh song down he started
singing again. Must have gone on for 20 minutes!! Everything closes in
bangkok at 1am these days (or earlier) so we went home. We declined an
invitation from Bandys new mate ''rick' to go play pool in some dodgy bar.
Got trapped on the street mat bars again though, prettty sure that was
'party dog' night, torturing poor animals with balloons :p
