Thailand Holiday 2008 Part 3 The Party

Party time!

One of Jackie's best friends, Frances, who she has known for over 30 years has got a brother who lives out in Hua Hin. So of course we had to visit them. When we called Bob and Annie they asked us if we would like to see a proper Thai party. Well, does a bear shit in the woods? Is the pope a catholic? Of course we would like to go. So in the evening Bob came around on his moped and Jackie and myself hopped in a tuk tuk and told the driver to follow Bob. Before we got to the place we stopped and stocked up on essentials, beer, whiskey and vodka.

When we got there, the party was already in full swing. There were a few other expats there but mostly thai people. I believe it was somebodies birthday but I never really got to the bottom of that. As soon as we came in some thai people dragged us over to the food area and gave us heaped plates of prawns, rice, pork ribs, chilly sauce, all sorts. After we munched our way through the lovely grub the drinking started... My wife, Bob and Annie worked themselves through a bottle and a half of Vodka and yours truly necked a shitload of Singha beer.

This is Jackie my best friend and wife, Bob and the ever so glamorous Annie...

During the party suddenly two guys showed up with two baby elephants. Jackie of course had to go and investigate. I stayed my distance. On my last holiday to Hua Hin at the elephant village some little elephant lobbed a car tire at me... once bitten twice shy....

Basically these guys bring the elephants around, you buy them some food and give it to them and hoppa, you are blessed!

This is Bob and my wife trying their hand at Karaoke. They were rubbish. Granted, the song they were supposed to sing they didn't know but I think their vocal cords were loosened by a load of vodka and what sounded good to them didn't necesarily sound good to the listeners. Even the thai people, normally very reserved, booed them off hahahahahaha!!!
All in all we had a whale of a time and have to thank the people that organised the party and Bob and Annie for inviting us! Thailand rocks!

Cheerio,
Alex.
