Bangkok - Tuesday the 25th

I arrived early morning in downtown Bangkok and had breakfast while looking for a place to stay.

I picked one off the main strip and quite a walk through a residential area. A Thai Military Officer came out of his garage paying me unwanted notice. The place was overpriced, but they did let me check in early so it made the stay more than worth it. I crashed for 8 hours or so. I woke up and the rat poo on the coffee cups prompted me to head over to a market on the other side of the motel, a treasure! This location wasn't so bad after all. The market was also near public transport (something I would soon find out was still of no use to me). I walked back to my hotel and noticed a Thai Hooker taking pictures of the hotel, already plotting her date rape story. My gut told me these people weren't just after my wallet... they were playing for keeps. I felt the weight of my $20 bag of groceries, nodded to her, and headed to my room where I enjoyed a great dinner and bottle of real Hong Thong. My times of high rise Bangkok nights were over, but I have the memories.
