Day 12 - Bangkok
Our train pulled into the station at 7:30am where Pepsi's cousin Micey met us. The rest of the day was spent shopping and eating. We also took the opportunity to get measured for our customs suits. The suits will ensure we look the part in Macau where I will be winning thousands....... :D

At 6pm we caught a taxi to the airport to pick up Justin. The taxi driver was a bit of a character and took a particular liking to Pepsi. He kept telling him how nice Australians were and gave us his full life story.

After waiting about half an hour we finally found Justin. We thought he did something tinny and got held aside by immigration. Our taxi driver was so desperate he waited 30 mins for us in the car park while we collected Justin. The taxi driver wanted to visit Australia and stay with Pepsi. He then said he wanted to take us to eat and have dinner with us (getting a bit creepy right about now). His driving was some of the scariest yet. He was doing 130kmh driving in the middle of two lanes, looking for change and talking to all 3 of us at once. We survived the ride but all needed a new pair of underpants afterwards 😊 He then tried to take us to a "cheap" seafood place which was a complete ripoff. We finally made it back to the hotel and he wanted to wait for us and take us to eat. Eventually we took down his number and got rid of him.

After a quick rest we hit up the shopping strip. The first time Justin went to buy something he got ripped off lol!!!!!!!!!!!!! He paid 180thb for an item that was worth 100thb (he paid 200thb for 2 of the same later on in the night). He had been shopping for a whole 5 mins and already he got ripped off. A guy was selling dvds with naked men on the cover. Justin and I though this was right up Pepsi's alley (no pun intended) so we pointed Pepsi out to the guy. When Pepsi walked past the guy followed Pepsi waving a dvd of a naked man in his face LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We stopped past the weapons table and wanted to test out the tazers. Unfortunately there were no volunteers. Pepsi was the perfect candidate but he did not want to participate 😞

We grabbed some dinner and Justin did some more shopping and this time he got some real bargains. We saw cool magic tricks for sale but the guy wanted too much money for them. He got a bit annoyed when Justin kept giving away the secrets to his tricks.

We have had a change in plans. Tomorrow we are off to Pattaya to go to the beach - Paragliding, go karting -(on a sealed track and dirt track) and scuba diving are on the menu.

Ripoff Tally - 8 (thanks Justin, we were on a roll....)

nice weapons...
Maybe you should slip a tazer into Pepsis luggage for when he goes back... he might have an intersting time at Customs? LOL
