A lovely little inn, a night out and the mayhem that is thailand!

Welcome to my first blogg! I'm not really sure what a blogg is all about but i hope to share on this some of the craziness, happiness and adventure that is travel. I don't plan to hold back or pretend to be someone i'm not so take me or leave me for who i am and what i have experienced on my trip.

Brett and i arrived into Thailand two nights ago after an uncomfortable flight and 21 hour day. We survived, and after a nice big sleep we awoke refreshed and ready to explore the town of surin bay. We are staying at surin bay inn, a lovely little place with a laughable view! We met up with our friends mel and brett, who are to be married in two days and swam in their pool. We also met their awesome and wacky friend rachael! In the evening we went to patong and explored the insaness of bangla road!! we met up with more friends, mel and andy and went to enjoy a few cheeky beverages! Chilling at a bar, the intense smell of sewerage and incense sparked a flood of memories from last time i was here; a young, silly uni student drinking myself silly and not really appreciating thailand for anything except a party kingdom. Whilst at this bar, we got roped into playing connect 4 and poor brett and mel were the last one's to have a game so were sneakly sucked into a game of 'you win, we buy you a drink, we win, you buy us a drink'. Naturally the clever, sneaky thai women won and the group was 400 baht down (approx $13). We walked about looking for a karaoke bar to no avail, but did trek through dirty flood waters on a mission to sing! As the night progressed, and taking photos of random animals or ladyboys began to cost, we were soon apart of the pulsing western veins that ran through this thai street. Shining things, glowing things, flashing things and rude things were all offered to us. We sunk our morals and after drink after drink we eventually hit the infamous ping pong show... down a dirty lane and into a bar with girls displaying crazy little shows including eating candle wax and even laying an egg at one point, the reality of the sillyness of it all hit and we left feeling a little poorer in money and integrity. On the journey home we did a typical ozzie maccas run and the girls bellowed out the aladdin song "a whole new world" to the boys dismay! Oh we definately were crazy silly tourists in the craziest part of town!
