Beer is Fruity
There is more fruit in the beer
there than you will expect. Breezer might be a spoiler for people with tamed
taste buds.
2.
The best place to have a beer would be Walking Street
Remember how you ever pictured
the best place of a sin-city to smell like. Walking street is all about that.
And what you do here? You do exactly what the name suggests- you walk! And on
your way you encounter the world’s most amazing things from your fantasies. And
yes, it does include strip clubs. Note: On your way the middle men may offer
you to give a free drink on choosing their bar- do not fall for it. Make sure
you make a clear talk prior.
3.
All you speak goes in vain- after 2 pegs
Although a major part of economy
of the country is based on tourism from around the globe, unfortunately, they don’t
speak much English in Thailand. Okay- Yes- No- is all the English you hear.
Therefore make sure to get where you want to before you are too drunk to
explain yourself to the tuk-tuk driver.
4.
Any food is good food when you have Beer
If you are an Indian and topping
it a vegetarian, like me, the street might feel like a behemoth fish market.
Thank God! At least Beer is a lot cheaper to make up to any food you eat for
dinner. And if you are sticking by Sea fish and Beer while you lie down by the
beach- the best evening activity.
5.
Do NOT expect Hospitality
Another misfortune as a tourism
based country- they do not seem to be a lot tourist friendly. May it be the
Hotel staff-your driver- shop keepers or anyone across the street who speaks
Thai, doesn’t seem to quite like Indians. Do NOT carry Amir Khan’s long
preached “atithi devo bhavah” in your
head, because that’s not how it rolls there. Atithi seems to have arrived for their own good in the country and Thai
people do not take much interest into your convenience and concerns as a
tourist. Make sure you pre plan things with your tour operator for no one would
be availed to take responsibility of your belongings if God forbid you went out
of sobriety.
6.
How to chose your drink snack
First of all: where to choose
your snack from? Whole sake stores like 7-11 are available at every square,
which give you the cheapest choice for all kinds of utility goods and grocery.
Make sure you look into the labels before buying stuff, as even the simplest
snack like lays potato chips might come in fish flavor as been cooked in cod-liver
oil.
7.
Beware of the Pilfers
Like any country, you have
pilfers here too. But, then why is it mentioned in heading 3 format here; because
you may have to pay a lot for your loss. Frequent incidences of local people beguiling
tourists on mistreatment of their entity (purposely done by themselves) have
been reported. For an instance- a water scooter may come and hit you while you
are busy surfing your own, and ask for a heavy compensation for the same or
threaten you into legal troubles. Beware of losing your senses. If you cannot
handle more than 2 pegs- stop right there!
8.
If you have nothing to do- get a real massage
Apart from all the notions you
have piled up in your head about the Thai Massage- believe me- there does exist
something that is a real massage. By any chance if you are left with very
little to do for the next day and a lot of hangover stashing your head, get
yourself a good massage. The way to identify a safe massage parlor is to hunt
for the one in the city and the one which make the more expensive ones.
9.
Don’t get too drunk
Last and the most important
lesson at the end of the day: Don’t get too drunk. Throwing up may not be tolerated
by the clean city, you need to haggle at every point- so losing your senses
might not leave you enough for the next day, there are girls at every corner
but every girl you see may not even be a girl really (she-males) - watch out!
