Feeling a little drunk / hungover / off our trumpet we hopped on a taxi. It is like a 4 wheeled Tuktuk. Open back, random' taxi buddies' and they attempt warp speed whenever faced with anything resembling a straight. The days travelling should follow this simple, 'easy to do after a night on the piss' method. Ferry to the mainland. Busses from there to the bus depot, bus to the Airport, taxi from the airport to our place of choice. I won't bore you with no legroom details but we arrived in Bangkok with me requiring traction and a shifty beer. It was nice to be back in the relative tranquility of Bangkok. Sameep and I decided to get our shopping done he wanted some football shirts and I decided that Lucas (my mad but great brother ) would appreciate a 110,000v tazer / flashlight. If there is a power cut you need a light and nobody likes finding a dangerous bull elephant in their house while looking for the fuse box so I figured this would kill two birds with one excessive amount of voltage. After taking Sameep's 'Jew' lead I started haggling, offering 10% of the asking price then following their offended shouts with "give me your best price", in turn they would lie about their best price price and I'd follow it up with a sob story about not being able to afford my next meal. I'm starting to think that the old saying 'Get a girl to laugh and you are half way there' may also be true for haggling. After spending £8 on an illegal offensive weapon and three friendship bands for my nephew and nieces I was set. We planned one last mad one, but settled for cocktails and an early night. The following day we were flying to India!!!
