THAILAND.....more shopping

Today we went to Khaosan Road Markets where all the backpackers hang out. It was the same street that we got our tattoos done. It was obviously a street for travellers on a budget. Two Pad See-Eeuw cost us $3.50aus which is a quarter of the price we would pay for 1 in Australia...and twice as nice.
Shopping seemed to be the focus today which so much stuff now needing to be couriered home cause we cannot afford the extra weight in our baggage when we finally come home from China (oh I cannot wait for that).
We then went to MBK with is the best shopping centre in Bangkok. Its 6-7 levels of retail therapy.....and in case you are asking, yes it was good for the soul. We then returned to the hotel for an afternoon swim and a fruit smoothie by the pool. There seemed to be a commotion towards the end of our swim whereby (I think) another guest advised the pool attendant that there was an 'unknown' object in the pool. I evacuated straight away cause I saw several young Chinese kids down that end of the pool. From my experience in China I could imagine they would swim in their own shit too. Dirty buggers!!!!hahahaha
Later tonight we went to the red light district called Patpong; which is great for ping pong if thats your sport. We ventured down the Gay Lane which was a bit seedy. It was full of old westerners in search of a Thai Gob Job. Daniel wouldn't let me see what was behind closed doors. One guy said that his bar had big dicked men....I asked him how that is possible being that they are Thai boys. ......you had to laugh!
