An evening of "Bot ding"

I have fond memories of Koh Samui. I lived first near the airport where I could see the planes take off and land on the runway by looking through the window of my kitchen. There were vibrations and we no longer hear talk for a few minutes, but there were more flights, at least, past 11 pm. I then moved

to Maenam, north of the island. I lived there in a little soy who entered the interior, a small street lined with banana and palm trees with huge water holes during the rainy season. My house had a huge terrace (almost bigger than the inside of the house itself) where they spent evenings playing cards and drinking Chang.

A card game popular in Thailand is called "Ding Bot" is literally means "double blind". As this is a kind of Black Jack where to bet, this game is illegal, but in the jungle, there is only one law. So there is a "dealer" who distributes two cards to all players and they have the option of taking a third. Sum the 2 cards (aces are worth 1, Figures 10) and be closer to 9. It drops the tens, so a king and a seven (10 + 7) give 7. The highest is 9 with 2 natural cards only, the lowest 0 (eg 3 + 7). To zero, we say " bot" (blind). There are ways to double, triple or even quintuple their initial bet by certain factors. A total of nine cards with two hearts and is called "gao ding " (nine doubles).

This game is very fast, but the most fun is to see the superstitions of the Thais when they play. For example, place the figure of the king up with good luck coins. Do not look at the two cards together, but open one, like the figure of the second and reveal very very slowly. When the "dealer" loses too much, the cards when changing direction. If you have the chance to play, do not miss not!

Rixe on Khao San Road

Friday night, I go out with friends to see a ska concert at Brick Bar, a box that is located behind a shopping center in the famous Khao San Road. For those who have already traveled this road is near a famous fast-food restaurant that I boycott and prefer not named (my friend likes to say we will eat shit clown " ).

The atmosphere is overheated, the dense crowd, the powerful music as it should and cigarette smoke everywhere. I appreciate that, but at some point I sneak away from the bar to take a deep breath of fresh air. On the sidewalk, few other friends drink a beer bought at Family Mart (the crooks sell the big bottles at 60 baht instead of 40 at night). Suddenly, a small concussion. I turn and see a Thai seated, obviously drunk, bringing his hand to his face. Beside him stands a security guard comes, it seems, to give Klitschko a kick. Why? No idea. Thailand's long hair stands up, looks at attention and in the race. It smells bad.

It moves away, continuing to drink, discuss, observe wildlife alcoholic Khao San Road. Suddenly, the Thais appeared together again a friend and ... a knife 30 centimeters long. Loss of face in a Thai is to seek trouble. There are cries of panic, anger, surprise, the crowd moves on all sides. In the tumult, I saw another Thai who comes out and points a revolver at I-don't-know who. A moment a second, I think it's the guard who will die of his stupidity, but no. The cops arrive (they have stores), handcuffed the two assailants. The security guard part in an ambulance with a leg cut.

Two shows in one evening.

Bangkok is not a violent city, at least not more than any other major city in the world, but violence is a universal reality. Thais are known to be Zen, "jai yen yen " (Heart quiet calm) as they say, but they are proud. Let them lose face and the dragon awakens in them.
