I awoke on a bank holiday Monday with a nagging suspicion I had something to do. I went to the park, I visited a friend. I was on my way to get coffee when all of a sudden, it hit me like a locomotive - I was supposed to be in downtown Bangkok to get steaming with my friend. Now, we weren't going to make it.... However, my friend knew another place where we could test out Thailand's refreshinglly blase attitude to health and safety.
