Songkran bkk yesterday

[NIrishGuy]

Oh wow the sheer number of people here this year, it seems to be well up on last year, someone was telling me in the Thai calendar this is their new millennium (?) which may explain that if correct I guess, but Silom road was absolutely packed to the point of dangerous and there is NO way it would have been allowed to take place at those crush levels anywhere in the west and as much as I usually love being in a throng of Thai guys have to say it was verging in the edge of scary at one point as if someone had fallen over I think they'd of got crushed or walked on for sure.

 

But apart from that great fun as always, With the exception of a quick trip to soi 4 - which was its usual mental but secy as hell self :-) and then a quick trip back to the hotel for a little R&R wuth a cutie i picked spent all day from 12 noon until 2am in banana bar in soi twilight where the Craic was great !!

 

I decided to go the bottle route to slow down the money spending a bit but after the first few I forgot that I like a beer and a vodka chaser when "on the rip" so so much for that idea as I just ended up with beer AND vodka all day - so much for the saving money plan ha !

 

Nipped back for a quicky with one guy around 10pm who after we finished switched the lights out and rolled over to sleep and was most offended to get a proverbial boot up the ass with the lights being switched back on again and the term short time being explained to him in case he'd missed it the first time as apparently he'd decided I was a keeper and didn't want going out to the party again in case I found another boy - well I guess he was right about that part !

 

A crowd of us tootled off to DJ around 2am and to say it was packed to the rafters would be an understatement, which I never like as it makes it so much harder to slip about and meet new people. Then left there and hit GOD until 5.30am or and again it was rammed more than I've ever witnessed before to the point of moving around was difficult - oh and Chinese people EVERYWHERE SO many Chinese in every bar and club again more than I've noticed before.

 

So it's now 4.00pm and I'm just surfacing and trying to shake off yesterday's hangover to go out and start all over again as the music is already blaring on the street, so a bite of grub, a beer out two to ease myself back I to things and then later a trip to Babylon I think where there's a foam party going on - so all in all a busy first day of songkran.

 

Edit * - oh and joe you can add a guy from DJ, and a massage guy from Soi twilight and a guy off grindr into the above somewhere over the two days before if you're keeping a running tally ha ha but I thought I'd spare you the details lol - and to the poster who asked are Thai boys shy with toys - not all of them it seems :-)

NIrish, I am worried you will burn yourself out dear.

Hell that happened years ago, I'm a mere shadow of my former self these days, I'm even starting to drink bottles of water every now and then between rounds to pace myself ! I never thought I'd have to stoop to such low underhand ( but very wise) tactics ! :-)

 

And don't worry I have a plan, which is to give it hell for three days at bkk songkran, then wind down for a day or two in Pattaya and then pick up from where I left off - of course you are absolutely right and my plan will fail miserably and I'll be a burnt out she'll within days, but sure it's fun getting there :-). We'll see ! :-)
