Nine ball with my mates

Filed under: Bangkok / May-July 05 — Charles Gillespie @ 10:40:33 pm

A few weeks ago, I met some British lads at a local watering hole. I was grabbing some quick dinner and they were mingling around the pool table. The blokes informed me they were members of the Pool In Bangkok (www.poolinbangkok.com) nine ball pool league and were warming up for their weekly Wednesday night match. A few Chang/Tiger/Singha beers later, and I agreed to pinch hit for them the coming wednesday when one of their mates would be back in London.

The next week I caught up with the team at the home bar, Larry's Dive. We then "travelled" two blocks down the road for our "away" match at bar Happiness. I was admittedly the worst player on the team. Fortunately, I was trusted to turn the meet around with Larry's Dive down three matches to two. In game one, my Thai opponent afforded me an easy opportunity to pocket the nine by scratching. Game two came and went with me quickly tapping in the nine. The match then abruptly ended with my stellar break that pocketed the match's third nine ball.

That and 40 hour weeks at Puumsoft are the latest from Thailand. Sunday I am travelling to Ayutthaya which is the old capital of Thailand. Lots of wats. More soon,
