I keed, I keeeeeeed. A few buckets later, and we're all chilling like JoDeCi. (By the way, did anyone else notice that at this point I've already pussed out and stopped drinking the buckets in favor of a beer? Hahaha. Hey, call me whatever. Those buckets are for crazy people! They make you pass out on the beach!).
So now I should probably talk about the drink known only as "THE BUCKET." This is pretty much the only thing that people drink at party spots in Thailand. They take a plastic beach pail with a little ice in it, then dump in two bottles of Red Bull (and keep in mind, this is the original Thai version of Red Bull that feels like it actually has amphetamines in it), a can of Coke, and an entire pint of Thai whiskey. They they throw in 7 or 8 straws in the hopes that you'll share it with strangers and not die drinking the entire thing by yourself. Any where you go on the beach, someone has a bucket and they're only too happy to share it with you. Cost per bucket? $3. Ooof.
