2am Decisions

After seeing the below sign earlier that evening, we joked over the figure kissing the fish and what other decisions are made when alcohol is consumed. It's apparent that on Phi Phi, alcohol makes people get in the ring.

Not following suit, we sat and watched as farang after farang clambered into the ring and tried to emulate in some fashion, Muai Thai. Looking more like Bambi taking her first steps it was quite funny to watch. Fortunately, it was surprisingly well controlled and made for a good nights entertainment.

The Beach

Our first day on the beach consisted of not much. Bobbo spilt his beer, Tom threw a ball around, Holly watched her iPad and I fell asleep. Perfect really.

Phi Phi

I am getting the chance to get out of the city while the team are here. We have opted for Phi Phi. Hopefully this will be a relaxing few days and a welcomed distraction from my dissertation.

Rehab

The day after the night before on the dark juice and a trip to rehab is in order for my guests. We headed over to MBK and spent far too long on some massage chairs. However, to block out all bright lights we have found the perfect sunglasses. 

Sang Som

Sang Som and Thai Red Bull. The game changer. The smiles you see on the picture below, were a different way round a few hours later because of that dark juice.

Special Friends

Tom, Holly and Bobbo have made the big trip out here to see me. First stop was some welcome drinks. While Holly was getting to grips with Thai food and the Archimedes principle, the boys were copying the Soi Cowboy locals a bit too much.

It's going to be an interesting few weeks!

Grand Millenium Brunch

As a group we ventured to the Grand Millennium hotel in Sukhumvit for their brunch. Having had my fair share of brunches in New York, this had a lot to live up to.

It most certainly did as well. Ranging from New Zealand green muscles, to oysters, to perfectly cooked beef and duck, the Grand Millennium has the concept of brunching nailed. With unlimited drinks, it is fair to say that our physical conditions represented a sine graph. The initial peak from seeing the food, the trough of the initial food coma, followed by the next peak of the 'wine'. The obvious ending from 3 hours of gluttony was an early bed and a stomach the size of a beach ball!

Not very classy I know to have mint jelly with beef but I just love it!
