So these days were pretty much all the same since the entire country of Thailand was celebrating Songkran...We would wake up in and by about noon the streets were packed with Thai's and toursits with their water guns and buckets of clay. Long story short, 3 days of getting soaking wet and clay all over your face! Good times!! The water shooting doesn't stop but we retired most nights by about 9pm....check out the pictures and you can see the madness.
On Tuesday night, I went out to meet a friend Sid who is local to Bangkok. My friend Cam who I met in Kuala Lumpur came along and little did we know what we were in store for. Had to go through a few police checkpoints and once they saw us (foreigners) in the back we were waved through...I guess they were checking all the Thais b/c of all the recent protests. Anyways, we hit a lounge called Koi and after moved over to RCA...Royal City Avenue, a street with lots of nightlife frequented by the locals. Never seen so many people at one place all with their water guns. About 20 clubs at RCA and everyone was packed and the party had moved onto the road out front. We picked one which ended up turning out to be a foam party! Clothes got ruined, but ran into a handful of people from our guesthouse who were also there. We made it back to Khao San Road at about 2am and were convinced by a tuk-tuk driver to go to Spicy club, an after-hours club. We went and he made a stop at a girlie bar first...not sure why...before taking us to Spicy. I guess he wanted to see if we'd be interested in some working girls....not our scene. Stayed at Spicy until about 6am and then Willam, a local Thai guy we met originally from France offered to take us to a nearby afterparty. We went and on the 3rd floor of this apt. complex was basically a rave. We finally left at 8am and stumbled into McDonald's for breakfast before calling it a night...crazy times, but glad I got to see a different side of Bangkok....
