Bangkok and Snake Whiskey

I'm sure most of you reading this don't need any explanation when it comes to Thailand, let alone Khao San Road in Bangkok. If you've seen the movie "The Beach", Khao San is every bit as insane, if not more than Leo tells it at the beginning of the movie.If I had a dime for every dread locked, stinky backpacker on Khao San, I could open my own guest house and never leave the place.After we arrived, we get to a bar and start drinking, just Lazy,Jer and I and before we know it we assembled the International All-Star Drinking Team.We were joined by A friend of ours who was teaching english in Poland, met an American from Jacksonville, two guys from England, two guys from South Africa and then we met T-bone from Hollywood.After a round of cheese burgers and more than enough beers, T-bone says he has a gift for us.He goes to his guest room and quickly returns with a brown paper bag in his hand,that obviously contains a bottle of some sort of alcoholic beverage.He takes the bottle out and says he can't take it with him as it is leaking and needs to drink it.Well, "what is it?" we ask. "It's snake whiskey" he replies, as he opens it up and pours some into his glass and proceeds to chug it down. What is snake whiskey? Well, it's madness, a bottle of whiskey with a dead cobra inside,pieces of snake skin floating around in it,nasty!The bottle was passed around until there wasn't a drop left in it and most of us didn't keep it down.T-Bone then proceeds to show us his "party trick" involving tooth picks. To this day I gag telling the story. That was just a few hours of our trip, the place is absolutely crazy and in case you didn't know, That's exactly my kind of place...
