I stopped drinking in Thailand well over a decade before Plod realised there was serious cash to be made from over the limit riders/drivers. Now, the only alcohol I have is at Royal House Karaoke, the last stop before home. This enables me to flit from JC to BT to SP and back again several times a night. It also gives me 3.00am rides along Dongtan Beach and Jomtien Beach Road all the while on the never ending hunt for boys.
