September 11th - We survived the flight!!
I forgot to mention earlier how awesome Hong Kong airport is!! A 4D cinema, massive games area, more shops than in Guernsey quality. We had so much fun we almost missed out flight.
Anways first day in Thailand and ask for a taxi to our hotel what do we end up with the most expensive one going thanks to Jon 900 baht which is almost what it cost us for the hotel. Should of only cost 400 baht gutted. Met up with the Guernsey boys and hit the town, a quality night. Met up with Leah and Maddy a bit later as well. The towers of beers were flowing and then the Kamikazis thanks Smitz. A quality night all round getting back to the hotel about 7 am before getting call from Jon asking for me to and pick him up as he had no money to get back, eventully getting back to the room at 10am with check out at 12.
12/09/07 - Moved to a hostel much closer to the action and slept for most of the day.
13/09/07 -Took a Tuk Tuk around the city to see some of the local sites unfortunately most of the places either the monks were on lunch or it was closed because it was a bank holiday, theres a surprise we'd been fleeced again. Thinking not only had the Tuk Tuk driver Leigh said it was 40 baht (clearly hes lieing the Guernsey boys think, it must 400 baht noone does it that cheap) but also he'd taken us to places that we're closed. Anyways he took us tourist office were we booked the rest of Thailand trip for a very good price and those are my words not his this time. Thinking Leigh is about to overcharge us the Guernsey boys decide to jump ship early, we offered him 100 and to our surprise he accepted we'd actually fleeced ourselves and paid him more than he asked for!!! Noooooo! Ah well a lesson learned.
To celebrate our last night in dirty Bang Kok we went out one more time and met up with two more Guernsey people just randomly meeting them in a bar.
14/09/07 Another sleeper bus in the evening taking us to our first beach in what seemed like forever. Had enough of all these cities and no beaches to relax on. Another nasty bus Journey but heading to some sunny islands.
Next stop Koh Samui.
