Chuck, Rhys and Fintan with the Hummer at the Grand Palace, BangkokDave and Paul were up early to hit a nearby gym for a few hours while the other lads got some rest. We set off in the Hummer late morning for a brief trip back to the Khao San Road so Paul could bring back his fake DVDs that didn't work properly. This wasn't too surprising given the quality of Khao San Road goods.
We all grabbed a quick lunch on Khao San and then legged it off in the Hummer across town in search of some floating markets. Unfortunately this trip was to no avail but we did manage to find a collection of small stalls near the Grand Palace. We all had a good laugh driving through Bangkok, seeing all of the madness it has on offer.
Pantip Plaza, BangkokOn the way home Chuck and Fintan were dropped off at Thailand's largest electronics mall, the Pantip Plaza near Sukumvit. This vast mall contains hundreds of small electronic stores that sell everything from water-cooled hacker computers to unlocked Apple iPhones. Chuck and Fintan immersed themselves in the chaos in search of a digital camera and eventually found one at a steal for 6,500 Baht (145 Euro), about half the price of the same camera at home.
Bed Nightclub, Bangkok
We all reconvened at the hotel in the evening where Fintan met up with a friend of his from Uni Sam Middlehurst who is working in Bangkok. After a few drinks in the hotel we all headed off to Bed Nightclub for the night. This incredibly stylish club is regarded as one of the top bars in the world and was packed out with Thai and Expat 'Glitterati'. The manager Goy knew about the drive and looked after all of us really well. Check out the club's website: http://www.bedsupperclub.com/
