Hungry is due to head home, so I wake up and drop by his room to say goodbye. He's already packed and ready to go. I tell him I'll catch up with him when I get back to the City (home).
The girls are still sleeping but eventually wake and are looking fresh and happy.
We stop for some pictures in the room and by the pool.

And then off to BigC. We're heading off to see a movie and eventually settle on "Recycle", which looks on the billboard like a horror flick but it was more a kind of surrealistic, weird, semi-horror movie. It was just ok.
While we were waiting for the movie to start we did some shopping and I picked up the girls a little treat. Not terribly expensive, but things they liked and they were happy. The girls suprised me and each of them gave me seperate gifts. Meow gave me a nice Thai cotton shirt (which by this time in the trip came in handy!) and Beam gave me a set of tiny glass Pigs (we have this whole farm animal joke thing going back and forth). It was really sweet and it was nice to feel appreciated and also so comfortable with them.
By the time we finished the movie it was getting towards evening. Meow took off for a while. Beam had suggested to me that I was spending too much and if I liked we could go eat on a budget that evening. She had a noodle stand she wanted to take me to.
We ate at this noodle stand in a small soi just off Walking (was it 17? I forget)
Being asian, chicken feet aren't new or unusual to me and I like them.
I found a recipe for it if anyone is interested over here: http://www.khiewchanta.com/archives/2006/01/chicken_feet_sp.html
It's pretty close to what I ate that night.
We pick up Meow and are headed down walking street headed over to X-Zone to pick up another friend of Beam's. On the way I run into...well actually I blow past but get turned around to see...one of my ATF (all time favorite) girls, Pook. I had spent time with her in February and was really disappointed when I couldn't get her in July. I think at the time she might have been sponsored up or something. Some guy answered her phone and she was never available. She's had a boob job since then and is working at Bouche. Check their website for nice picture of her lying on the bar.

We get over to X-Zone and pick up her friend Thai. It turns out Thai is a hello girl and is not yet in the game. Hello girls as you can imagine don't do well in tips (I certainly have never thought of tipping a hello girl) so she hasn't been eating well. She's starved and we head over to the food court near where the motos and baht busses for hire hang out.

The plan that night was to head over to Xzyte as "Ice" a popular male Thai singer had travelled in from Bangkok and was doing a show. As it turned out, we had an ID problem and Xzyte was a no-go. We ended up going next door to Jukebox and having some fun there. I even got to "sing" some thai by using the phonetic cheats :P
The girls, not wanting me to spend too much, told me that we could limit it to an hour, but we were having fun and I let it roll out to about three hours.

The walls where covered with a collage of popular media icons torn from posters. The effect was pretty nice.

When all was done I mentioned to Beam that I was interested if Thai was up for it, but she reaffirmed she doesn't go. We send her home and it's back to the hotel for another very good night of Me, Beam and Meow.
