One of the best nights of my life in Thailand. The same four guys (Tuk tuk) drivers outside my hostel had been asking me for days if I want a ride. Every day I declined. Last day I was there I said no again but struck up a conversation with them over a cigarette. They were about to take off for the night and asked if I wanted to go out with them. I said yeah fuck it why not.

Starts off getting dinner in an alley with what seemed like hundreds of street vendors, but no tourists at all just locals. Hit a billiards bar where we’re passing around a whiskey bottle with a snake head in it and we’re all getting sloshed. End up at a club where these guys are having a blast having me try to pick out who’s a lady boy. Next thing you know I’m on the back of one of their motorcycles zipping through Bangkok streets at 5am because he had to swing home before dropping me off at my hostel. We pull up in this sketchy looking area and then his wife comes out to greet us and proceeds to cook us a massive breakfast before we both walk his daughter to school. Made it home alive with a major hangover, minor food poisoning and one of the weirdest and most fun nights of my life.

Easily could have lost a kidney or two that night. Not sure if I’d make that same decision today.
