Friday night in Bangkok was kind of interesting. A friend introduced me to a Thai girl named Pui, who was my tour guide for the evening. We went out for dinner at an upscale Thai restaurant and then for drinks. Afterwards, we went to a popular bar, which was jammed with people listening to a live rock band and drinking a lot of booze. I met the owner, and asked him the reason for his success. He said a lot of Thai celebrities hang out there, so that makes it popular. Makes sense. That night, the son of the deposed Prime Minister was partying there. If the new military government caught up with him, there’d be a heap of trouble for him. I guess he was too drunk to care! We took off from there and went for ice cream at a trendy dessert bar. Well, ice cream being somewhat cave-unfriendly, I had a raspberry smoothie, which was delicious.
Today I’ll do some more shopping. I have booked a fitting for my new suit, and I need to buy some cheap luggage to carry it home. Tonight, if I’m in the mood, I’ll do some shooting. I really feel like I covered what I wanted to cover in Bangkok when I was here a couple of years ago though, so I’m not seeing much new that I want to shoot.
wow that’s like fifteen hundred different entertainment places in one night! you do that a couple of times and visit everything there is in that place 🙂
and yaay glad you feel like shooting again.
what happened after the smoothies?
you need to remember names of places so u can tell me where u actually went 😛
haha we went for dinner at “the face” on soi 38 sukhumvit. https://www.facebars.com/bg/main.htm
the beer bar was Y50. pretty scuzzy little place but kind of fun.
the ice cream place i dunno what it’s called, but it was artsy and was split into two buildings. they were like art galleries or something. lots of glass and teak and white walls. i’d like to live somewhere like that some day 😛 just off soi 39 sukhumvit i think.
