Nick explained that the streets joined or branched off the main roads<br />

and were known as Sois; some were numbered and some named. Nick<br />

planned to start in Soi 6, informing them that it was a, ‘short time Soi.’<br />

“Great,” said Stu, not knowing what he was talking about. They walked<br />

out of the hotel and got on a Baht bus, one of the many small covered<br />

pick-up trucks that circled the city’s one-way traffic system. Stu and<br />

Spock noticed them on the way to Soi 6 bars, each with loud music, and<br />

many people dancing, waving, and having a whale of a time.<br />

Soi 6 joined Second Road, which led to the beach road and was lined<br />

with small and large air-conditioned bars on both sides. Each bar had its<br />

windows covered by signs or dark glass, making it difficult to see<br />

inside. Young, scantily-clad women sat in groups outside the bars,<br />

chatting and fixing their makeup, like a group of muggers waiting for a<br />

victim.<br />

The lads paid the 10-baht bus fare and went into the first bar, which<br />

was on the corner of the Soi. The women sitting outside leapt up,<br />

surrounded them, and dragged them inside, in the nicest possible way.<br />

In the dimly lit bar, the lads were taken over to an L-shaped sofa. They<br />

sat down and ordered three bottles of Singha beer, the local Thai brew;<br />

it was slightly sweet, with a hint of nut in the flavour, and a lot stronger<br />

than most European beers.<br />

The beer got brought over by a young, scantily-clad woman, followed<br />

by two equally skimpily dressed women. One woman sat next to Nick,<br />

while the other two ladies sat on either side of Stu and Spock, sitting<br />

close together like two Catholic nuns at a rugby team party. They had a<br />

mortal fear of being stitched up with a katoey, a ladyboy. They'd heard<br />

stories from their mates at home who had been to Thailand and were<br />

allegedly stitched up with a katoey.
