"otherwise fabulous trip, Clearly money wasted , on drink, off fee , meal and tip . Oh well, shit happens thought I going to sleep"       

 

Indeed it does happen and that last sentence did make me chuckle.. thanks for the report.

Readers who aren't British may not have heard of George Best, a great footballer of the 1960s, who became a wealthy playboy and drank himself to death, more or less.

In his last weeks on earth a reporter asked him  what had happened to all the money he made. "I spent it on sex and booze," he said. " The rest I wasted."

How was it possible for Banana Bar to be open during religious holiday? The other bars were closed.

I was told by expat living in BKK that the Banana owner’s husband is very senior police officer so opening restrictions don’t apply.  That’s why the separate big upstairs bar is often still open well after other bars have closed.  Sometimes door is closed but party goes on and there will be someone standing by door who will let you in to the staircase.
