09/23/2002 Entry: "22 Sept 2002 - Bangkok"

Woke up on train, ate my half a banana cake. Got into BK around 11am, and took a taxi to the Kho Shan Rd area. Just about to check into the same place I'd stayed previously but met Darryl at the counter checking out (which was handy). Got a double room in an another guesthouse. Met up with Ayala (Israeli girl we travelled with in Laos for a while), who is also going to Nepal trekking with us. Also managed to pick up my plane tickets!!

Attempted to find an Irish pub in BK showing the All Ireland. Headed to Silom Rd area which is one of the main centres of BK. Failed miserably, went for dinner and then went for a drink in an Irish bar just to have one. The place was tacky central (part of an Irish pub chain) with a Canandian band (with a fiddle player) playing Celtic rock as they called it. Loud and not great so left after a while and headed back to the Kho Shan road area where we went on a session.

Drunk, very drunk, memories are few and include, giving money to the monks at 6am or so, walking past the bar with the blackened windows (from previous time) because the cops were outside it, going to a nightclub on KS rd before going to the 24hr bar in the guesthouse I'd stayed at previously. Not sure how I got back to room, won't be doing that again for a long while.
