ThaiBankie

Last week my Ex, Nicola, was passing through Bangkok on part of her 3 month tour of SE Asia.  We had been talking for a few weeks prior to her and her boyfriend, Dene, arriving in Thailand and I was giving them some advice about where they should go in Thailand.

We arranged to meet up on the 7th  Nov for dinner and drinks, Nok and Megan could not make it as it was a school night and Meg would have to be in bed by 8pm.  We had arranged to meet at Gullivers Travellers Tavern on  Sukhumvit Soi 5.  At first they wanted to meet me near their hotel on the other side of town, near to Khao Sarn Rd, but it would have taken me about 3 hours to get there so i convinced them that Sukhumvit would be better for us.  It took them about 1 hour to get to Gullivers, which is really good going especially during rush hour.  Iwas not so fortunate.  It took me over 2 hours to get from BangPoo in SamutPrakan to Sukhumvit.  I think I was just a few minutes late so it was not too bad going in the end.

I hadn’t thought too much about meeting her until I got an email from her reminding  me that we had not seen each other for about 7 years.  In the end I spotted her within about 2 seconds as soon as I saw the back of her head.

We sat there and had a drink while we decided where we should eat, Tony Roma’s won out and was as good as it always is.  After dinner we went to Bus Stop on Soi 4 and sat there until 12.30am talking about their trip, work and life. It was really good to catch up with Nic again and her boyfriend Dene is a really nice guy too, in fact they told me that they got engaged while they were in Cambodia earlier on in their trip.  Congrats to them.

Hopefully it won’t be another 7 years until we meet up again.
