One thing I appreciate and noticed a while ago about living in Bangkok is that when having a drink or meal with friends, the topic of conversation usually leads to the sharing of personal travel stories.
Since it's so easy to travel to nearby countries, islands and other awesome destinations from Bangkok, many people who reside here seem to take full advantage of all of that.
And while I've heard many funny and amazing stories so far, a friend recently shared one that I thought was pretty special. He told of traveling to Mumbai alone, and then going out to some bar one night. Things were progressing uneventfully until he became friendly with some locals, who then ended up getting him a drink. He said that after drinking it, he became dizzy and then blacked out. When he woke up the next morning in a hospital, they had stolen everything he had on him.
Thank goodness that in retrospect, he's able to tell this story with laughter, because it sure would've been impossible for some of us to hold in ours.
