My buddy Shaun and I headed out for a few drinks last night (Friday) and started off by walking to the Kiwi Bar on Soi 8. The Kiwi bar has a great happy hour and just before it ends, the server comes around and asks you if you want any more drinks at the happy Hour price. You pay and you get a slip for the drinks that you can draw on for the rest of the night, so basically happy hour can run all night if you plan ahead.

Cowboy was sssoooo busy, inundated with tourists snapping pics on their smartphones to take back to their home country to show naughty they have been :-) Kidding aside, they are not the usual low season clientele. A one minute stroll down Cowboy turned into a 5 minute, weave through the throng to get to Soi 23 and then I headed home. Enough fun for tonight :-) I prefer Cowboy from Monday t Thursday when it is not so busy.
The weather is back to normal for winter with highs of 31 or 32 and lows of 24, 25 during the night, with very little humidity.
Thavorn and Jaidan arrive back tomorrow about noonish so I headed off to Big C to buy some groceries for the next week. Ashley and Brigit arrive in 5 days and Shaun heads off to Koh Samui New Years day in search of true love, or a reasonable approximation. Time will tell.
Thailand remains a land of contrasts and discovery. It is very different from where you come from and you are bound to discover things about yourself that you never knew. The big Mango (Bangkok) remains as exciting as always and the LOS (Land of Smiles) is bewitching. However, as the early cartographers were want to point out, 'Here be Dragons!'
