We slept in until late and then went to go get breakfast, delicious noodles again.
We didn't really do much until 3 when we found out "the Hangover 2" was being released today. Its a film about some people who get really drunk and have a wild night in bangkok so we thought it appropriate to go see it. We went to the huge mall called MBK and booked our tickets before getting a McDonalds and doing some shopping. The film was awesome and may or may not have been quite an accurate representation of my first night in bangkok.
These guys had been travelling way longer than me and introduced me to a different "lazier" style of travelling which was pretty refreshing considering i'd been doing only 1-2 days in most places for the last 2 weeks and having to blitz it.
In the evening one of the canadians was going home after 6 months of travelling so we went out for a classic street food Phat Thai and street cocktails. I was approached by a guy selling hammocks and although i really wanted one couldn't be bothered to haggle tonight. The man started at 750baht (around 15pounds) and we all just kpet saying we weren't interested etc. He seemed really keen and kept pestering us but when he dropped the price to 150baht (about 3pounds) me and tiggy both bought one.
We were joined by some really old Australian guy who proceeded to tell us about how he was crazily racist and hated pretty much everyone then just when we thought he done enough he went on to talk to us about he was raped as a child. It kinda ruined our last night with Giles and we just wanted him to leave us alone.
Giles had to leave at 10 so we all walked him down to the bus for the airport and said goodbye. I felt bad having only known him 2 days but he had been travelling with his brother for 6 months and susie and tiggy for a month so they were pretty down. We tried to go clubbing to cheer ourselves up but it was pretty poor in Ko San road so we decided just to go back to the room and get drunk and talk. We even managed to string my newly bought hammock up between a bed railing and the door handle which was pretty awesome. It turned out to be really nice we stayed up until 3 or 4 just discussing the stupid australian man then our views on everything and Susie actually managed to make me reduce my hate for religion something i never thought possible. Gap years change everything!
