2006 or so, been partying in Patong, on the way back to Rawai, bird on the back of bike. Cop standing at the intersection where Kata Beach Resort is, 4AM. I hand my road beer back to female friend, the cop stops me as a marathon run was starting, Kata Beach over the viewpoint and back and we had to let the runners go by. Female friend chats with BIB, once runners went by, off we went. As we passed them friend on back yelled so-SO, so-So ! Not sure what that meant but it was fun.
