Hey fagtots, i've been here for a couple days and already seen a bit. I got into Bangkok at about 11:30 and was wandering around randomly talking to homeless people before I saw some westerners and asked them for a good hostel or guesthouse. One of them asked if i was a
couchsurfer, which I am, and invited me to stay at his instead. So i've been staying rent free, (
, on a floor) and yesterday we went around a bit and took a river trip, as well as I got to see Khao San road, the crazy tourist party place here in Bangkok. Was out until about 4AM, danced with this fucking hottie Thai girl all night who didn't want to give it up, then on the way home almost got a "massage", from some random chick who looked kind of hot until she spoke and there was definitely something off about her voice. Also it was just a super shady situation in general with the "room" she had and how much baht they wanted to charge me, pretty much all my spider senses, even severely handicapped by alcohol, were going off to get the fuck outta there. I am now 90% sure she was a ladyboy.
Didn't wake up till super late today, I wanted to go see some temples and shit but oh well, will probably do that tomorrow. In a couple hours i'm going bowling with a bunch of Thai couchsurfers, so that should be good. Don't really want to go out and get drunk again, but I may not have a choice.
Going to stick around Bangkok with these folks for another few days and then get out of the city on Sunday. Dunno if i'm going North or South yet, South is the beaches/Islands, but I might save that till the end of the month so I can catch the Full Moon Party, which is supposedly awesome. I'd like to head north and go mountain trekking for a bit to get away from the alcohol, so I don't make any silly fucking mistakes.
tl;dr: Ladyboys are a legitimate concern whilst drunk
PS: a techno-vacation probably won't happen when i'm in a big city, there are cheap internet cafes everywhere, not to mention peoples places i'm staying at usually have computers.
