Planning Bikes

We spent the morning looking at bikes and getting advice on what would be better - dirt bikes or road bikes?  Blake was adamant on getting a dirt bike, but after a long chat with Tony - from "Tony's Big Bikes" - he changed his mind and decided on a road bike as we wouldn't be going off road unless we took a guide with us.  Quint and I both immediately fell in love with a 200cc Honda Phantom - not only because it was a beautiful looking bike, but because it could easily fit two of us on it.  Blake decided on a 450cc yellow Honda road bike.  Tony gave us each discounts as we were taking the bikes for 5 days and business had been relatively slow.

We spent the afternoon riding the Doi Suthep "Loop" - getting used to the bikes and seeing a few of the Chiang Mai sites and countryside.
In the evening we decided to stroll through the Night Bazaar.  We had some cheap dinner and then the boys decided that we needed to go watch some Muay-Thai boxing.  We found a guy selling tickets on  a street corner - haggled down the price and told him we wanted VIP seats.  We exchanged money for tickets in a dark alley-way before he took us to the venue.  He made a quick phone call and all I picked up from his short conversation was "VIP".  As we approached the entrance, a tall and very attractive Thai lady met us and said, "Please follow me this way boys" - in a very deep manly voice!  Well, that was it.....I broke down in hysterical laughter whilst Quint and Blake each grabbed one of my arms while we proceeded inside.

Quint:  With breasts like any other normal "busty" lady and thighs that could probably crack walnuts, we followed the "lady" through to the ring.  And much to our surprise, VIP it was!  After ordering our drinks from our tame "lady boy", we settled inn to watch some serious ass kicking Thai Kick boxing!

It started with youngsters in the ring kicking the crap out of eachother and the competitors gradually got older and more violent as the night wore on.  By the last round of the night we were definitely ready to head out of there as the blood and knock-outs became a bit too much to stomach.
