Bangkok, Thailand
Well, thats it, that was Asia.?It was fantastic, some definate memories that will stay with me, some not for the best of reasons but most because I just saw and experienced so many new and interesting things.
I have to say Bangkok was not my favourite place, although I can see how if you hadnt just arrived there after a very long flight it could be a competely different experience.? The business and my tiredness coupled with so many backpackers and the sights of animal cruelties put me off.? However going down the river and seeing the way the locals live in a sort of shanty town on stilts was great.? Got to see the Grand Palace although we wernt suitably dressed!!? And of course the legendery tuk tuk transport!!? So for our brief time there I still think we managed to cram a bit in aswell as seeing the Big Budda!!
The rest of Thailand was a completley different experience, all the people were really friendly and absolutley fascinated by our pale skin!!? Koh Phi Phi was beautiful, you can see how tourism has effected it though and going to Maya Beach where they filmed the beach it is absolutley swamped with tourists!!!?? Really beautiful though and very eerie to see the area hit by the tsunami which hasnt yet been repaired.
Koh Lanta was lovely, much quieter but got to see some monkeys and elehpants and just spent a couple of days chilling out and getting infamous thai massages!!?
