Bangkok. But no sign of Sticky Vicky...

Bangkok - fuckin' nuts! Hotter than hell, smoggier than every other city on the planet combined and even busier than Hong Kong, which I didn't think was possible. Not entirely sure I like it yet but haven't done much exploring so I'll keep an open mind for now. Have spent two nights at the Pan Pacific hotel, courtesy of Wayne; he decided that he needed to ease himself gently into this travelling lark and for the past two days we have done nothing but order room service, sleep and drink Bombay Sapphire. Hotel is magnificent, without doubt the nicest, plushest place I have ever stayed. There is even a 'pillow menu' with 12 different types of pillows. You dial housekeeping and they bring it up for you! Fab. Had an interesting night last night... after sleeping most of the day, me and the boy wonder cracked (another) bottle of gin, drank most of it and headed out on the town. We took a cab and asked the cab driver to take us to a good bar where we could have a few sherries and a bit of a bop. We ended up in a place called 'Boyzone'; no sign of Ronan but there WERE a worrying amount of boys hanging around in their underwear. each with a number printed on them. It was a Goddamn brothel! I hung on to Wayne like my life depended on it, we down our bevvies and got the hell of there. Was well dodgy. I suppose you can't come to Thailand without at least a minor brush with the sex trade...

Found a pretty reasonable dance club and boogied the rest of the night away. Pestered the DJ to play Madge's new tune (OMG can that woman get any better???) and they played a ten minute Banarama megamix. A good night!

After being here for two days and seeing absolutely nothing, it's now time to head out for a bit of 'culcha'. Via the nearest mall, naturally...
