Loud Bars

I just came home and left two friends at one of those small bars that do food, are full of middle class Thai's and have a Thai folk guitarist shoved in the corner mic'd up to huge speakers on the solid walls.

I couldn't be bothered conversing in shouts and pardons so I sat there like a killjoy gazing at the flatscreen TV until I could no longer bare the offensive din.

I only stayed as long as I did because King Kong has some very good sfx, but I won't be going again - small venues don't need big volume.

I guess I'm having a bad Thai day - suffering from a temporary bout of Smegmosis.

Well there you go. I don't mind those sorts of places in small doses. I like the ones in Patong with the four piece Thai rock band squeezed into a bar the size of your kitchen.
