6pm, rawai.
johnny: lets head to kata for just a few drinks. not a late one, cos im knackered and i want to train tomorrow
everyone else nods in agreement
8pm, kata
couple of beers in, everyone suddenly perks out. our new best friends behind the bar bring out a free round of thai whiskey shooters. a quiet night it will be no more.
9pm, kata
move to various random bars. enter one with 2 signs on the wall. one reads "bar for sale" the other reads "lady for rent". classy. one minging bar girl refuses to get off my lap and offers to sleep with me for free
"sexy man, you on holiday, ok! no money, no money!"
yep, sell it to me... being jet li suddenly has its downfalls.
11pm, kata
more bars. owen, one of the irish boys who is 6'4 and used to play some kind of lower level international rugby has his photo taken with some bar girl who takes a liking to him. she is literally a third his size, which makes him look hilariously like a paedophile.
tuesday, 30th of jan
12am, kata
the drink of choice has shifted from singha beer to sangsom + redbulls. back at the andaman bar with the cool bar chicks who are completely normal, nice, not whores and go to great lengths to point out that 'this is not that kind of bar'. more free shots are consumed. a slow, drunken ride on scooters ensues back to rawai. for better or for worse, ive had to give back barbie and so have to grab a lift with owen.
2am, rawai
the nice, not-whore bar girls have been convinced to close up their bar and head out clubbing with us. clubbing is done.
