... trip to the 7-Eleven for Troy to purchase more Red Bull (he's addicted), we went in search of a particular gay bar mentioned in the guidebooks that Brian was keen to visit. Unfortunately, the owner of the club seemed to take exception to me and refused to let me in, citing the fact that I looked "too young".

Like pretty much every single other backpacker arriving in Bangkok I headed for Th Kho San Rd to find a place to stay, what I found I could only describe as a backpacker ghetto.
