Patong Day 42 – Party in Patong

• Got up and had breakfast at the hostel
• Got on the shuttle to the beach with all my gear
• An Italian guy sat next to me on the shuttle and totally unprompted telling me all about the mafia in Italy and how the Italians aren’t going to take it… He talked without me saying a word for 20-25 minutes. When I got off the bus people came up to me and asked what did I say to get him to talk so much!
• I walked around with a guy I met after getting off the shuttle Raj and another girl to look for a hostel.
• Raj and I found a backpackers place and set our things down.
• I went out to use the internet and work on my paper when I met a Brit that was staying at the same place as us named Paul.
• Paul and I walked to the beach and talked about how he just came from climbing Everest to base camp.
• We got lunch and he showed me his pics from the trip.
• I went to a coffee place with free wifi only to discover after ordering that their wifi is broken.
• Came back to the hotel and watched a movie resting up for the night
• I went for dinner to subway and got it to go.
• I walked the beach and found a really nice view from a bench to watch the sunset.
• After the sunset I went to the hotel to get showered and ready for the night.
• Raj, Paul and I went out because it was pouring rain across the street to a bar with a pool table.
• They clobbered me in pool and we hit the next bar.
• The next bar was a Irish pub and we got hassled by people selling trinkets all night there.
• We went to a go-go bar afterwards and were swarmed by women right after sitting down. After ordering our drinks the girls started bringing games to play, so we played connect 4 and some dice game with them.
• Having to pull Paul away a few times, because he can’t say no we went to a dance club called VIP.
• The guys refused to ask girls to dance but after persuading we all hit the floor and danced for an hour or so there.
• We went with a group of girls to the next club where it was packed with Thai women and very few men. After hours of dancing and fun we decided to leave, Raj and Paul both had girls and went back to the room. I got a chicken hotdog and walked the town for an hour before heading back to the hotel.
