We got ready to go out for our first night in Bangkok, but didn't spend too long as we knew we would be soaked again very shortly. And yet I still make bad choices- mascara (pointless) and a sundress (very silly). Triona and her boyfriend walk us to a bar near Kho san road to get some food...if we thought we were soaked earlier we got off very lightly, after the 5 minute walk to the bar we are sopping wet covered in paste, and that mascara is all down my face :)
The party on the streets is now in full swing and cheesy thai music and classic euro-trash hits of the late 90's blare out from speakers and the locals and foreigners dance in the street. The place is a cultural melting pot. Though apparently there are not as many tourists here at the moment because of the protests against the government. Besides this, and a few red flags here and there we see no real evidence of any riots.
We arrive at the bar, and there re people standing in the doorway with hoses and buckets just waiting for their next victim. The waitress dances around and plays a pool cue like a guitar as she shows us to table and gets us menus. We order cocktails- mine doesn't arrive, this is to become a common theme with food/drink for me over the next few days! The food is delicious, the atmosphere- bizarre as waiters and waitresses dance around and push each other out in the street to get soaked.Oh and if you wondered where hits such as "crazy frog" and "who let the dogs out" come to die you need look no further!
We spend the rest of the night moving from bar to bar between soakings. Triona and her boyfriend are equipped with water pistols so we are able to retaliate a little better now! Oh and we see our first lady boys! We head back to our hotel to bed and try to let our brains begin to process our first taste of Bangkok.
Cute little poser!
