Hey
Its been a while since my last 'BLOG' so ill update you with whats been happening in this very nice and sunny place!! (I know its horrible in COV and im so damn glad im not stuck in the office, sorry had to get my dig in).
No too sure where i left it last tiome but we had to get the Thai boxing in to the trip. It was pretty good if a little brutal but we have stuck with wanting to Thai box people to the face if we take a disliking to them.
We met up with michelle which was cool. She was mean tto get the train with us to Chang Mai but in true michelle fashion got horribly lost and missed it. She now in Laos on her way up to China.
That evening we got the train from Bankgkok to Chang Mai (where we are at the moment). A sleeper train that really menat you had to sleep i the phetol position and felt like you were about to fall out of the top bunks we were on. Before we went to sleep me and casey were having a few beers to help
with the sleep process where i managed to piss the conductor of to the point the asked me to kiss him. A little confused I just stopped doing what I was doing and slept with my back to the wall 'just in case'
Arriving in Chang Mai we were taken via a Tuk Tuk to a place called Five Star Hotel. We were quite impressed as the room only cost about 3.50 for the night. We were wrong to be impressed. Not the best place ever, as we have 3 beds, a shower and a massive spider, Ill take a photo for you Coz (a little better than Barca pete) but its friendly and cheap so we cant really complain.
The first nigth in Chang Mai the guy who owns our 5 star hostel (he calls himself Mel Gibson) said he would take us out which was nice of him, or so we thought. We just wanted to go to a place where we could have a few beers and chill out really, no GO Go bars or hookers!! Bangkok got a bit too much. The first place he took us to was a bothel!!!!! We walked in to a
room where there was a glass screen with about 50 women all sitting there waiting for one of the blokes in there to pick her out and for 1800Bhat you could ' have a good time'. It was horrible!!!! Must have been one of the most seediest places I have ever been in, even when we went in to another room to get a beer and there was a girl singing thai songs and guys just calling them over. Not good at all although Mr Gibson looked like he was having a ball.
As we left there we did a bit of a bar crawl in Chang Mai and met an Irish guy, who was mean to get married but decided just to sack her off and go around the world. He took us to a place called SPICY. POssibly the worst music ever!! but possible the best night as well!! Wierd place with a mixture of Westerners, Thai's and hookers. Little random but after a few beers its awesome!! Dancing with midget hookers, picking up random people and falling in love with many hot girls, one of which im sure you have seen the photo. Yes they were girls
because there was a huge sign on the door banning he/shes hehe.
As we left spicy at about 4:30 we decided to sack getting mopeds off till the following day. This turned out to be a good idea as dave got on the moped and proceeded to nearly drive in to a table and chairs as well as nearly taking a guy with him. Possibly the funnyest thing ive seen in a while as well as scary with having to go on the roads we have been informed many people die on all the time.
The bikes meant we could got to an army shooting range. We got 3 different guns and swapped. My favourate was the more powerful hand gun but sean and dave liked the sniper rifle. Of course we didnt realise how loud they were and all kacked our pants as one went off right next to us, very funny for the people who worked there but a little too much for dave after the interesting ride over there. After the shooting we went to a waterfall to chill and let daves heart slow down after yet another scary ride.
For the past 3 days
we have been trekking in the jungle. Livin it up with the hill tribes of Thailand. It started up with an elephant ride. That was pretty cool. Them things are mental!!!! It wasn't too nice seeing them hit the elephants to get them walking. I would have quite happily walked next to them instead of sit my big heavy weight on their backs and so they can spit dist in our faces every so often.
The walking was pretty hard, in fact I think it was the hardest walking I have ever done in the 35 degree heat up extreamly steap terrain that im sure you could have happily used your hands and feet to get up it easier. I have never sweated so much in my life as well but you get used to it. Sean managed to fall over a couple time and looked like he had soiled his pants at one point which makes a change to dave doing it.
Did a few flaming Mehong whiskeys, lethal stuff. Slept in a hillside shack where they had a window in the toilet so you could see the live pigs and awesome view which was nice hehe
The second
day was walking and waterfall day really. There was a Polish girl with a really strong irish voice who never stopped moaning and couldnt do anything herself. We all wanted to Thai box her to the face but her bloke was pretty cool really so we let her off and just mocked her the whole time.
The third day white water rafting and bamboo rafting. A little tame but it was nice to jump in the water and have a few man fights and just mess about. Dave thought it would be funny to keep kicking me in the back but sunburn is a great weapon. Needles to say he lost that fight.
Last night we went for a few drinks and ended up in Spicy again but wth a few people from our trek couple irish girls and a couple of english lads. Dave and Sean started necking the girls so I just sat down and through the night got more and more abusive the to hookers sitting next to me so I got up to dance with then as you do. Never thought I would say this but im actually getting bored of dancing with hookers. We have
been feeling a little rough today, Dave thinks he has Maleria im not so sure.
Our plan has now changed. Instead of going to the full moon party this month we are going to pop in to Cambodia for a couple fo weeks then do the islands and try and catch the next party and them move down to KL, Penang and singapore and so on. Were gonna think more about what to do but im sure you will find out.
Sorry its been so long, I alwast said they wouldnt be long but its hard to condence.
