I agree with PDM3, I travel solo too & think it's better this way.

Well, this was his first trip and had quite the bout with culture shock. I think he wasn't resourceful enough to have toughed it out on his own. I can relate to that as I was kind of a basketcase the first few days I was in BKK on my first trip. Also, recall that he was with his roomie as well - a very close friend.
I also used to be skittish about traveling on my own, fearing boredom, etc. Now I'm with you BB. I always go solo. I rather enjoy it that way. Hopefully, my buddy will take the plunge alone or with better sidekicks next time.
Another thing about Mr. Bartender is to sorta keep mum about this LOS trip. The mere mention of "Thailand" around the girls he's chatting with at the bar can raise the ire of the females right quick. The bar has to be pretty empty in order to get any stories out of him.
He actually made it down to Patong. His favorite bar was "U2". He said he could not find MTB, unfortunately.
