Where, exactly, in Thailand?
Fellow mongers,
Ive been doing some intesive research about Thailand, and my upcoming trip. (i.e, [url]www.pattaya-addicts.com[/url].) If any of ya from personal experience (like AT2) have been there, Im open to all suggestions as far as where I wanna book my hotel. (First time there.) Cuz really really, if its that damn good, Im going back sooner than you think! (Then Ill stay in another part of the country.)
Im leaning towards Bangkok, I figure, thats the capital, main city--gotta be like our Waiks, ah. Me play the dumbass american tourist role. Cept, me brown skinned local asian brotha! hehehe.

Bangkok!
Oriental setting
And the city don't know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner
Time flies doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tyrolean spa has the chess boys in it
All change don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordianry venue
It's Iceland or the Philippines or Hastings or this place
One night in Bangkok and the worlds's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One town is very like another
When you head's down over your pieces brother
Tea girls warm and sweet (warm sweet)
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
Get Thai'd you're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline sunshine
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok an the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
Siam's gotta be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
And thank god I'm only watching the game
Controlling it
I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you
So you'd better go back to your bars
your temples
your massage parlours
One night in Bangkok and the worlds's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your comapny
I can feel a devil walking next to me

Well.
Having read that report, my mind is set up. BKK it is! Now, to just find a hotel..
Friend had a good point; told me, "if everything is going to be pretty much dirt cheap there, why not live it up in a 5 star hotel man? You figure, you'd be spending what, maybe 5 bucks (USD) in food a day, for 3 square meals? Bottled water is what, 20 baht?"
The better hotels probably got clean tap water too. BKK being the major city and all. My other friend said she'd hook me up from the airport to my hotel via limousine! whoa!! Also told me its a 2 hr drive from BKK to Pattaya if I wanted to visit that city. Heh. I forgot to tell her that I arrive in BKK at one o clock in the morning!
I heard China Air has a NEW air bus thats supposed to be top notch..Ive always had trouble sleeping on planes--but now ill be on one for over 24 hours, with 1 stop over in Taipei, Taiwan..I better bring some kind of reading material, LOL. Hope they got ice cold Heineken on tap! I wonder if BKK even has Heineken, and if its cheap like Vegas? That would RAWK!!!
Thanks for the great review AT2!
I can feel the devil walking next to me Hinode :cool:
