don't want to cause extra theads, so will post Cha Am experience here. I think Chicagoguys trip with nam had a little to do with me ending up there. 55 Intro: Meet Brother Cmore in Bamboo, I have tgf in tow. Cmore tells me he has plans to go to Pattaya for a couple of days. Have a drink or two in Bamboo. Cmore wants to pick up a tg cutie he has spent some time with. My tgf says she has never been in a GG. We head over to nana GG to get Cmore's honey. Get acosted on the way up to GG, even try to drag tgf into one bar! Women are all wearing bikinis in GG, so not such a shock to tgf, I wish there was a nude lesbian show going on. I would have liked to have seen tgf's reaction then. Cmore picks up cutie and pays BF for another Bros girl, such a gentleman! On way out doorman tells me take care my wife! Tgf keeps getting mistaken for a Japanese or Chinese tourist! 55
Head back to Bamboo to see if any other Bros are around and then head out to CM2 for ladies night. By this time the tg's are chattering away in thai, and I am sure there is much we are missing out on. CM2 was rocking pretty good with live band. We wander around trying to find a landing spot and finally setle into a spot directly in front of stage at the first ring rail. A couple of drinks later Cmore is on stage singing an Eminem song with the band! You go man! Much mad dancing by myself. I like to keep a buffer zone around and insanity is a surefire means to get room! f_ck it; I don't care how I look, I'm having fun damnit! Tg's seem to be amused by my frenetic movements. Somehow during the night the Tg's get the idea it would be nice to go to Cha Am for a couple of day's! I feel really bad knowing that Cmore had plans to go to Pattaya. I'm thinking my tgf had something to do with it. She is friends with Chicagoguy's nam, thanks to GP tour last trip, and knows about his trip there. Cmore is cool with it, he digs the town. Sanook Sanan!
Day 1 Meet up with Cmore at nana cafe around noon for trip. We all head out to south bus by cab. It sure is nice to have a tg to mediate cab rides. I learn to appreciate this during this trip. We wander around the station looking for the right terminal. Cmore knows what it looks like, but we were dropped off at the opposite end. Bus leaves about every half hour so soon we are on our way. 2 1/2 hours later we are dropped off in central Cha Am. No taxis; Cmore has seen bahtbus kind of trucks around the station and we ask tg's to negotiate for truck ride. Moto guys don't have a truck and they aren't interested in losing the fare and finding us that ride. We agree to ride on four motos. I'm worried about luggage; the moto guys ride with it between thier legs. Yikes, I HAVE NEVER HAD A MOTO TAXI RIDE! My fears are unfounded, and it only takes ten minutes to get to Charlie Place Hotel, rooms are nice and the price is unbelievably cheap. Soon we are headed to the beach, only a hundred yards away. There are chairs and umbrallas set up at the beach. Are these free? Apearently so. We sit on four of the chairs are soon surrounded by people trying to sell us foods of all sorts. We get some Tod mun pla, Gai, and fruit from three different people. We get some Som tam from a fourth woman who shreds the papaya and prepares the salad right there. Later the tg's get someone to get a spicier Som tam from a nearby restaurant. God so much food and we have only spent 100 baht! WOW! The setting is seriously tranquil. The sea is very mellow, quiet little waves. Cmore is in heaven! After trying to eat all this food we go back to rooms for a nap. Later Cmore takes us to a Karaoke place at the end of the beach in an opulent hotel Methavalai. There is a live band playing at the outside restaurant and the hotel is awesome looking. I wonder how much a room would cost here? The Karaoke room is down in the basement. Only a couple of other patrons here, singing Thai songs. It has only been a couple of hours since the beach gorging and the tg's are interested in more food. After another "large" meal and a few drinks I am in the mood for some bad singing. I mangle a couple of songs. Cmore does a better job, but some of the songs aren't paced right, the music is elevator and the lyrics aren't displayed timely. My tgf has a very good voice singing thai songs. I find out she loves karaoke, first time I have heard this. Cmore's tg gets into it after a couple of thai songs, her voice sounds good, much better than Cmore and I. Decide to call it a night!
Day 2 Have breakfast around noon at a little restaurant on beach road. American breakfast and good coffee. Head out to beach. For some reason they do not set out the chairs and umbrellas today? Cmore has been trying to convince the tg's to take a banana boat ride, he's paying so what the hell! What a guy! Ride lasts half an hour and is a lot of fun! First time for both tg's and they are shrieking in enjoyment. After the ride the tg's need to recouperate and we head off to our rooms for a while. Dinner time several hours later, tg's are hungry again after their bodys settle down from banana ride! Rent two two people bikes and wobble off to a restaurant down beach road owned by a falang couple. Cocktails are ordered and another large spead is consumed in two waves! After meal we wobble on bikes down to north end of beach road. We end up at the very end of the road at a thai restaurant with a Polynesian motif, there are f_cking Tiki huts at the end of the road on the beach. We all plop into more beach chairs and enjoy a few more beers listening to the waves lap at the shore line, while thai music plays in the background. I get feasted on by mosquitos. Wish I had used that deet I got at the mini mart. How long till I know if I got malaria? Get my first look at thai toilets, luckily the guys get to piss in urinals! We wobble the bikes back to rental place and decide to get some snacks and watch a dvd Cmore just purchased. Pile on some snacks and liquid refreshment, and head back to room. After some snags trying to play dvd's we settle into watching an Ok horror flick. "Monster no eat chocolat man!" Thanks Cmore Overall this was an awesome expedition! I really liked Cha Am. A very serene side trip after the mad pace that BKK rushes to. Sorry, but my writing is still really long winded. I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY FR!
You go man! Much mad dancing by myself.
