Thursday was a very quiet day for all of us and on Friday Shaun wanted to head to Rumours Bar for a walk and a quick drink. He asked if I wanted to go and I suggested he take Tavorn as she needed to get out of the apartment. I was on Jaidan duty which was fine by me.
Shaun and Thavorn headed out about 8 pm and Shaun returned back after 90 mins and Thavorn called me and said Tacky had just called her and asked her out for a night of fun, music and dancing. I said great, go for it, but don't come back and talk to the toilet. Wishful thinking on my part. Take a young Thai girl out of the village and plunk her into a live disco with free drinks provided by Nimo and Tacky and you have one Thai girl who is going to cut lose. It was actually good to see Thavorn have a great night out and she only talked to the toilet once when she returned home at dawn.
It turns out they bar hopped for a while, visited a Japanese Sushi restaurant, and then a hit new disco on Soi 11 (home of Climax bar, which is also great) that was packed, so Nimo booked an alcove for the 3 of them which quickly became 5 or 6 as Tacky's friends got off work. The price for the alcove was 3 bottles of whisky for 9,000 baht, but the mix was free. That would be about $300.
From the pictures I saw, it looked like everyone had fun. Thavorn woke up about 12:30 pm and spent the rest of the day, feeling 'not so good!'. But, that is a small price to pay for a walk on the wild side. If you can't have fun in Bangkok there has to be something wrong with you.
Needless to say, Saturday was a quiet day and Sunday was quiet except for a walk to Rumour's bar and a quick beer. I ordered a taxi for Shaun by GrabTaxi (online line) and Shaun headed off to Don Muang and his flight back to China.
It was a great visit and it was good to renew an old friendship. Hopefully Shaun will be back sometime in the new year.

Arrived back in China safely (sort of) - taxi driver had gas light, check engine light, brake light, and trunk light all highlighted simultaneously on the dashboard - I was pretty concerned. And back to having to resort to special means to access anything Google.
ReplyDeleteFor reference, taxi from Jim's place to DMK airport was 230 + 120 in tolls.
Thanks for hosting!
Oh and thanks go to Thavorn for cooking me thai food - it was great. And the spaghetti of course was wonderful too.
