Entry for March 29, 2009

Sometimes, you just have to go for it.
Khao San Road is where all the dirty hippy backpackers hang out in Bangkok (not that i mind backpackers... just the dirty ones). Scantily clad scandinavians, hairy hungarians, beaded bavarians... they all love the chaos of Khao San. It had been 4 years since we were last here, and took us about a week of living here to wind up back on Khao san. For those of you in the US, it's like going to Mexico during US College Spring break... but multiply that by about 1000%, and you're on Khao San.
We hung out with some Peace Corps Alums, and it helped having Thai speakers with us. We foiund a seat, grabbed a few beers and took it all in. Craziness. We ended up closing down som ejazz club and slinked home at around 1am. Good times!!!
