So this morning we were all going to khao San road but before that I needed to go to the train station to buy my overnight train to chiang Mai. So I told everyone to wait at the hostel for me while I 'quickly' nipped to the train station.... Famous last words!!! I'd already learnt that the biggest hassle and hardest job over here is getting a decent taxi or tuk tuk to take you somewhere. The tuk tuk's all wanna rip you off by offering you great fares like 20ba...

So ive been pretty crap at updating this but good at updating my diary so were all good. Obviously I got here safely :) When I arrived in Bangkok there was definitely a "what the f*** am I doing moment" but I got over it lol. It was quite surreal coming out the terminal and there's loads of Thai men and women waving names at you, I shook my head, but they still waved names like 'pong chin-wah' and 'Ben Jackson' at me! "yep that's me" lol. Anyway found my tax...

So... The one point I have to make so far, is that I LOVE EMIRATES!!! Maybe it's because my history of aeroplanes has always been pretty crap airlines or actually emirates just are really good. The picture is the menu from the plane and it was so so good!!! Didn't taste like aeroplane food at all. And I got red wine so all is good in the world. I had a window seat then the seat next to me was empty, and then the aisle seat had a lovely lady called Sue sat in ...
