Bangkok. Good time city.

‘It’s all fun and games until somebody gets arrested. Then the party continues.’

A large night out of drinking on Khao San Road was the plan of attack for the weekend and it worked. I made my way to Bangkok early Saturday morning on the train which arrived at the main train station. From the station I needed to get to the MBK the main shopping centre so I jumped on the back of a taxi motorbike. Less than ten minutes later having riding through the middle of restaurants and peoples houses I was at the MBK and found my friends.
I was a shock to the system to see so many white people and hearing English spoken everywhere. I wasn’t sure I really liked it. Drinking seemed the better option than shopping headed to Khao San Road and started drinking. It was the start of a long night.
I was on Khao San Road to celebrate an interns birthday it also happened almost half of the 95 interns were also in Bangkok for the night to party hard. Lucky Beer was the bar of chose to relive the memories of our previous visit to the road. All was going well until one of the interns knocked a laptop off the table inside the bar and was arrested.
The police are now 30 000 Baht richer with that fee being the price they set for his release from the police station at one end of Khao San Road. It’s a dodgy place Bangkok and it was on show Saturday night. He was released and the night continued although I had no interest in going to ‘The Club’, the only club on Khao San Road so instead went to back to the hostel I had found just off the road and went to sleep.
The following day I walked up and down Khao San Road watching it slowly come back to life. Drunk men and women continued to drink while people like myself where trying to have breakfast. Throughout the morning the rest of the interns woke and stories from the night the before were shared before everybody left in opposite directions across Thailand back to where they live.
