After a long, boring, uncomfortable flight we finally arrived in Bangkok on Tuesday evening. When we got on the plane they made us walk through the first class section just to rub in how much more room they had!
To be honest, I don't want to come back to Bangkok. It's smoggy, dirty and really stinks. When it's been hot during the day you can smell the sewers wherever you walk - really horrible! The first day we were properly here we booked our ticket out for tomorrow morning.
It has been a lot nicer at night here - the smell of food mixing with the smell of sewage dies off a bit... The bars are nice, beer is cheap, food is awesome. Still can't wait to hit the road though!!
Tomorrow morning we're going to get a minibus over to Kanchanaburi for a while and find someplace to stay. Then get the bus back to Ayutthaya, the train to Chiang Mai and hopefully a slow boat to Laos. Sounds a lot more exciting than staying in the city!
I'm still not used to the heat - it's been about 33 degrees during the day but we have air con in the room :) my new favourite invention. We've just checked the weather in Chiang Mai and it was 38 degrees today - seriously hoping it will have cooled down by the time we get there!!
We haven't really done much here - we visited the reclining Buddha - pictures to come! It's HUGE!! I didn't realise how huge until we stood next to it. Other than that we've just been wandering about getting our bearings and waiting to leave! We've slept off the jet lag so successfully we missed out on most of today so we'll have to wait to see some temples in other cities! Oh well, it will be nicer there I hope!
The computer in the hostel is broken at the moment so we've had to come to an internet cafe to get on the internet, but it's giving us loads of trouble :( Don't know when we'll be able to get some pictures up as they keep failing, but they're on facebook at least! Check them out there!
Anyway, will update more once we've done something interesting!
