ok so last time i updated this we were in a train station waiting to get an over night train up to bangkok. well we waited a bit more and got on it and headed up on our way. these trains were full of beds, bunk beds and i got the short straw and ended up on the top bunk. the beds were quite comfy but a bit small so even short people like myself couldn't actually sit up when on the bunkbed. by the time we got our bags but away and sorted out we pretty much just chilled out then fell asleep. was a bit of a bumpy journey and got a bit of sleep but was woken up at half 5 by sellers shouting up and down the carrige saying ' fruit cup? fruit cup? COFFEE? COFFEE? WAKE UP WAKE UP!' my god it was annoying! then we hit bangkok. got out of the train and then made our way to our hotel. this hotel turned out not be be our hotel as intrepid who we are travelling with forgot to book it so we had to move somewhere else which was actually nicer so we weren't complaining. after dumping our stuff we headed on down to a long tail boat which we cruised up and down the river on and saw a mini floating market, fed a whole lot of catfish which were massive and then also saw lots of crazy sights such as a digger in the middle of the river. very strange. then we got off at wat poh which is a hige temple with a massive golden reclining budah as well as a heap of other stuff. really nice but we were hot and tired and bothered so we had to wander around pretending to be interested and went and got a tuk tuk back to our hotel. a bunch of us took a load of washing to get done and then me jo and laura booked a tour for the next day to the floating markets and also to the river kwae. then we went back to the hotel, jumped in the pool and chilled out before heading to koh san road to do a spot of shopping. we then went to meet the others for a meal that cost a grand total of 1 pound then headed to a bar for a drink. had a drinking game with the group then headed home to bed.
ran out of time - gotta go xxxx
