There is one main strip where the bars all converge into one giant party and you can find anything you want. If you want to find a guy on flaming stilts juggling three frozen flamingo dwarfs it is very possible this exists in Patong.
So naturally Ryan and I had to check it out.

So after turning down about 646 ping pong show offers (if you don't know please don't ask), we met up with Alison and some other friends for a night of debauched out good old fashioned fun.

| Not sure |
We met at the Tiger bar which is way cooler than it sounds. We were sat at one of the many individual bars which is hard to explain but a very cool concept. Girls dance on the bar in front of you (real ones) and it's all Thai crazy fun. We got a couple buckets deep and wanted to see something different.

| Dude |

| Lady |
 |
| Dude that tried to teach me muay thai |
 |
| Got scammed at this game a couple times |
 |
| Dude, where's my car? |
This is the moment Ali decided to show us the ladyboy bar. Before I continue, this is very much a part of the Thai culture and everyone jokes about it at home or whatever but its really not cool to disrespect the ladyboys. They are working at the hotels, pubs and pretty much live normal lives. If you disrespect them most Thais will get defensive and want to protect their own no matter what. Some of them are pretty attractive and one could easily get tricked into bringing one home with you. I pretty much avoided Thai girls for the night just to be safe.

| Ryan is thinking about it |
We ended up running into a drunken Australian dude that was beyond turbo wasted. Ryan tried to help him and he puked all over himself and Ryan was immediately black-balled just for helping the poor guy at every bar on the street for the rest of the night.

| Crazy Russian bar |
Ali and I decided to soldier on as Ryan unfortunately dissipated into a cab and made his way back to Jen's. As the nights often do out here the bright lights turn into fantastical blurred lines and I can only guess how the next part of the night went.
 |
| I guess we saw The Legendary Roots Crew |
 |
| And Jimi |

As the neon signs slowly melted away into sunlight we found the bike and began our journey home. I looked to the horizon and made a quick and sneaky turn past the guards of a resort to catch the sunrise. As they yelled at us in Thai we just kept driving and it was all worth it to catch a couple pics here before they eventually found us and told us to beat it.
 |
| Imagine waking up to that everyday. |
Right beside Jen's house we found an elephant. My camera died at this point but his name is Chungy and he was a cool dude.

| The next day |
 |
| I found a dinosaur! |
Peace from Patong Beach!
