Half a rite of passage in Thailand

Thursday Evening,

I just like to have fun on vacation I don't like migrating from place to place, that's not a vacation for me. I have a feeling I'm covering a lot of bases in January according to my travel buddies so I'm coasting this time and my friend respected these wishes mostly because he's working through the day.

Thursday night was a great old time that brought me back to my single days of university... with an actual venue this time. We got bottle service at dinner: Sangsam liquor was $30 for a bottle and came to $40 with 4 bottles of soda water. If that's not the cheapest thing you've heard of in a restaurant, please, tell me where you live.

After dinner we were all flying high and headed down to Loi Kroh Road for more good drunken times. Since I wasn't drinking soju I can remember a good portion of the night. We went to the Full Moon bar which is associated with the ill-famed, clandestine business Thailand is known for: hookers. These were not the best Thailand had to offer which is exactly why this is half a rite of passage, because I came, I saw and nothing else.

I say that these girls weren't the best because they weren't great looking but were still overly friendly and nice. Traditionally, before these girls are put into the sex-trade they are taught to play games as a way to make money for their soon to be pimps or managers. These games include pool, Jenga and Connect 4. Friends in Busan who have traveled to Thailand have hyped this thing up to the nth degree. Being the game-lover that I am I just wanted to keep drinking and beat some hookers in Connect 4.  I went a respectable 3-2, but I'm really good. And they definitely majored in pool during their younger years. I sunk five balls in 3 games and that was it.

I went to Mike's Burgers, which is dynamite drunk food spot, and walked home from there solo because everyone else tuk-tuked to the other side of the city to their respective homes and more importantly for one, his condom supply. I decided to leave because
a) Respectability.
b) I'm not made of money, even in Thailand.
c) I think I like someone in Busan.  
d) I sleep in a tent.
