Trip report,,,so far…

[Old Hippie]

Arrived Friday around noon, had lunch at Det5, which had been a decent bet for the last few trips. Not so great or as good as it once was…still “ok” but the prices seem to be up a bit.  Walked around Sukhumvit, got a great massage at Baan Dalah, great shop Soi 8…in bed by 8 as we felt tired and sick…whole body felt stiff and just plain miserable, like I was getting covid again…these days, it all feels like I’m getting covid again…woke up, felt better, had breakfast at Krua Khun Puk Soi 11/1, which is our favorite place in the area, walked around and felt better, played pool at our favorite pool hall, Hustlers in the Times Square building, great place, great staff. As we were leaving, watched one of the femal staff (they are all female there)make quick work of a guy in a nine ball game, took her about 5 minutes some amazing shots from her, and he was no slouch either…She was pretty hot as well… in bed by 20:00…Woke up today, felt a lot better, though the recent knee replacement which has been giving me grief the last few months was really acting up…walked around ate way to much at the aforementioned restaurant and will probably sleep early…odd to be in Bangkok sleeping early…turning in at an hour where in years past, I was just getting started…

I'm envious, I'd like to spend a weekend to two absorbing the "vibe" ('strayan meaning) on my next trip to Laos.
