I contemplated calling this post "Friends on the Road - Bangkok Edition" but due a hostel friend I met in Bangkok when I first arrived, I just had to change the name.

My final day in Bangkok started out innocently enough. The plan was to send out a few emails, grab a bite to eat, and then hit the hay. My flight was due to leave around 7am the next morning which meant I had to be there around 5am, leave in a taxi at 4am and get up at 3am. Simple enough right?
Wrong!
The night started to take an immediate U-turn right after I finished my meal across from the hostel. On my way out of the small street food shop, I nodded and said hello to a local Thai guy. After exchanging a few words he asked me if I like whiskey. Which, if you know me, I love whiskey and that meant there was no way I could say anything but yes. Before I knew it, I was sitting at the table with Jod and the owner of the small street food joint downing glass after glass of Thai whiskey.

Several glasses of whiskey later I decide thats enough, bid them goodnight and headed back to Lub D. While I'm sitting downstairs on my laptop I meet another fellow which begins the final spiral into one of the best nights I had while Bangkok. After just a few minutes of talking, I come to find out that my new friend and I have tons in common. Be both share a passion for photography and video. Turns out, hes in Bangkok shooting a documentary which is awesome because one of the things on my bucket list is shoot, edit, and publish my documentary!

Having lived in Bangkok before for about eight months, my new friends asks me if I had been to a Patpong Go-Go bar yet. I told him hadn't as it wasn't really my cup o' tea.

A bit of a side note. Most (when I say most I mean 99%) of the "girls" dancing are ladyboys. Some pre and other post op. If you ever find yourself falling for one, just keep this in the back of your head.

He replies it's not his either and offers to show me around Patpong St because it's one of those things you just have to see. Long story short, we grab some dinner and head to the clubs. Of course I'm not able to get any photos while in the club ( that's a good way to get your ass kicked) but take my word for it, some of these girls put the girls back home to shame! I also had the chance to talk to a few of them and it turns out they are super super nice! Once they know you aren't interested in them but you are just there for the show, they'll generally leave you alone. However, if you can speak a little Thai and you're willing to buy them a beer you can have some great conversation!

A whirl wind of Go-Go bars and ladyboys flash by and I find myself (a bit drunk) playing pool in this tiny joint with my new friend. One of the girls (I'm pretty sure she was a real gir l) who was working the bar came over to take our order and tell us we weren't too bad at shooting pool and she was pretty good herself. This of course led to a matching of skills between my new friend and the bar girl. Thankfully, I was able to bring out the camera fire away. I'm glad she didn't mind because the photos came out great!

Fast forward past a few games of pool and a few hundred shutter clicks, we find our selves back at the hostel drinking a bit more. By this time, we're both a on the verge of being fully intoxicated. Even though it was around 2:30am, there was still a small party going on at the hostel. A hand full of Koreans and a few Russians were hanging out and having a good time, we of course had to join in and once again, the camera came out.

It's time like this that really make life worth while. Meeting new and amazing people while having a few drinks and tons of laughs. If you're luck you can even create some art while you're at it. I've managed to pick out and process some of the best photos from that night post them below. Be sure to check them out and leave a comment!

On a totally different side note. The reason I named the post this was due to some friends I had made while in Bangkok like I said before. It was all due to this song...

If you haven't checked out the Facebook page then clearly either you didn't know about it think you are just way too cool for school!

Clayton Hotel Chiswick is only 40 minutes away from a world famous London Eye. London Eye, formerly known as the Millennium Wheel was originally meant to be an attraction only for 5 years, however it became so popular that it is now one of the Top 10 attractions in London.

So far in her young life, New York City's Fearless Girl has drawn countless tourists, a metric ton of media coverage and its fair share of praise as a symbol of the fight for gender equity - so much, in fact, that the statue staring down the financial district's famous Charging Bull recently got a new lease on life, at least through 2018.

For at least one person, though, the Girl has offered less than welcome company.

"The girl is standing there like this in front the bull, saying, 'Now, what are you going to do?' " the bull's sculptor, Arturo Di Modica, said at a news conference Wednesday, according to CNN.

He maintains that Fearless Girl - sculpted by Kristen Visbal and commissioned by the firm State Street Global Advisors, which intends to call attention to a lack of women leaders on Wall Street - at once distorts the intent of his statue from "a symbol of prosperity and for strength" into a villain, and does so for the firm's own commercial gain.

He put a finer point on the matter in a March interview with the New York Post and MarketWatch: "That is not a symbol! That's an advertising trick."

And he's prepared to fight for its removal.

"There are issues of copyright and trademark that needed to be - and still need to be - addressed," Di Modica's attorney, Norman Siegel, said at the news conference. Siegel, a longtime civil liberties lawyer, carefully emphasized that they, too, support the fight for gender equality and that they do not want the Fearless Girl banned entirely.

"Remove her and place her somewhere else in the city," he said. "We've got lots of ideas. And damages must be awarded to Arturo for violation of his legal, statutory rights."

Siegel said a lawsuit has not been filed, but left the door open to the possibility, according to The Guardian.

The statue at the heart of the dispute went up last month in celebration of International Women's Day, and though MarketWatch notes its temporary permit originally lasted only until April 2, the city renewed that permit through 2018.

But Visbal has made no secret of her admiration for her statue's massive counterpart: "The bull is beautiful," she told The New York Post in March. "It's a stunning piece of art."

Even the method of the statue's installation - dropped unheralded in its spot overnight - paid homage to the bull it confronts.

Di Modica himself plopped his 3 1/2-ton bovine beneath a Christmas tree in front of the New York Stock Exchange in December 1989 without a permit. The Italian immigrant intended the work to bolster American traders' spirits after the stock crash of a few years before - though the NYSE, it must be said, was not pleased with its holiday gift, hefting away the bull by the end of the day.

The Charging Bull eventually found a home two blocks away, at its current resting place just south of Wall Street.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has shown no inclination of moving the intrepid girl from the bronze bull's path any time soon: "Men who don't like women taking up space are exactly why we need the Fearless Girl," he tweeted Wednesday morning.

Visbal, at least, feels some sympathy for Di Modica - "poor Arturo," she told the Post - but she, like her statue, doesn't appear ready to back down either.

"The world changes and we are now running with this bull."
