"We No Check ID Card"

I've kind of done everything there is to do Bangkok on previous trips so I've just been soaking up the atmosphere and getting rained on. I've been noticing some amazing marketing techniques so I would like to share some with you...

'We No Check ID Card' is the tagline for the bar across from my hotel. Does anyone check ID cards here? Is anyone fussed what age people get smashed off their faces on cheap whiskey buckets. Methinks no...

'Thai food make your health better' - A cookery course behind my hotel. I really want to goin and for quantative, substantive evidence of this claim! I know its good for you but makes you better?

'Sex Tattoo' - Is this supposed to be 'sexy tattoo' or doe you get a jump and some ink at the same time? I was going to go in and find out but knowing me I would have come out with a new tattoo, irregardless of typo or promise.

'Pacicures' are on offer on the rook of the hotel, I'm genuinely intrigued, but not enough to ask for one and find out.

"cheap cheap', not the sound of the birds, although they do get annoying early evening. No this is all you will get from tuk tuk drivers, along with 'where you go', 'you very beautiful' (I've slept in air con and haven't washed since yesterday, really that desperate for a fare?!), and after a certain time at night the go from 'cheap cheap' to 'ping pong'. You only need to experience a ping pong show once in life, thankfully I already have and the enchewing rip off so I just laugh at this, some poor kids do go, poor them.

So these are some of my observances of Khao San Road, I leave in the morning to bum about in Koh Samui because I have nothing else to do, in a very positive way!
