The CHANGover: Part 1

After our delayed flight from Ho Chi Minh to Phuket we were anxious to get to Patong and find Fez & B who had arrived 8 hours earlier. This was to be a week long birthday celebration for both Fez and I as Fez turned 30 two days before I did. 

After checking in we went straight down to the pool bar to find the boys, but the bar was closed. A quick call found them at the next closest bar to the hotel. Kate and I both promptly ordered a stubby of Chang beer and joined in for what was a quiet night of half a dozen beers and in bed by 10:30pm.

Or so I thought.......

I woke up in a cold soaking wet bed. First I thought either Kate or I had wet the bed but I had a quick smell and then thought maybe one of us had spilt the bottle of water so we both slept on a towel for a few hours til Fez woke us up for brekky. Kate went back to sleep wrapped in the doona on the floor as the bed was still wet so I went for a swim with Fez. Where Fez informed me that my night's recollection was not how it really went.

This is like my memory


Here is reality


Where I got the hammers is anyone's guess.

As it turned out I remembered the first half a dozen beers, but I didn't then go to bed. What actually happened is shots, more Changs (6.5% by the way), cocktails and more and more Changs.


I went back to the room and upon re-smelling the towels we slept on it was obvious someone had pissed the bed. Both of us were adamant "It wasn't me" and still leaves us with the question why didn't the other person wake up whilst being pissed on?

We all checked our phones to see what was meant to be a quiet ease into Thailand turned out to be the messiest of messes. After ringing a bell at a bar I had to buy us all a local shot and that's when the brain erase button was hit. Without the videos and photos on our phones I never would have known what happened (like taking control of the iPad that played a bar's music and playing all our friend's bands at full blast in the street,

It was a scene straight out of The Hangover
