Movers

Khao San
RoadÂ’s (KSR) very own urban legend goes that in the early years it was a travel
weary observer of the world, sat alongside our favourite ever changing urban catwalk
with cold Singha in hand that raised the intriguing and formerly long unanswered
spiritual question…..”Where the hell is everyone going?”
I
am glad to say that with the now well established pit
stops of pleasure seen along and around KSR, enlightenment
can be attained by all visitors as the question has been
well and truly answered in no uncertain terms, Thai style...
”Who
cares where theyÂ’re going, theyÂ’re going to need a drink
on the way…
I
am of course referring to the much welcomed cocktail van’s and mini bars (or “shot
stops” as christened by Khun Dan, regular of KSR) conveniently located and usually
lit with permanent festive lighting so that connoisseurs of these mind bending
mixtures may easily home-in through the crowds for a quick “sex on the beach”
or “screaming orgasm” whenever they feel the need………. bar staff comment that apparently
ladies donÂ’t finish as quick as the male customers, stay longer and come back
again and again and againÂ…..!
Gentlemen,
you are kindly requested to bring balance back to the force!
At
an average of 60 Baht a pop your common KSR cocktail (Mai Tai, Margarita, Long
Island Iced Tea) is a must for any of my fellow bar hopping brethren who find
it all too hard to move from one end of KSR to the other without the regular infusion
of vodka every 50 metres along the way to brighten up the journey.
However,
for some samplers of these generous, magical measures thereÂ’s a distinct possibility
that youÂ’re going to have a second heartbeat in your head or feel the need for
an immediate disco nap, while many, many more of you the following day wonÂ’t remember
who you were with, where you were, what you drank and why there is a stranger
still sleeping in your bedÂ…Â…Â…
All in all it would be fair comment
to say that these little pick-me-ups rather kind of launch you up instead.
Without
a doubt these funky little watering holes offer wicked potions at great prices.
So whether youÂ’re ready to take off, need a boost or just want to lose the power
of speech, give them a go and after a few youÂ’ll happily end up with a grin as
big as the Thai smile serving you.
So
the question to is, just how high do you want to fly? Enjoy.
And
rememberÂ…..
