Bangokok round one........
We have decided to 'do ' Bangkok last, so we only had a brief stop off here for two nights to plan our trip around the rest of Thailand and get oursleves together. Our first impression was that we really liked Bangkok, the people are really friendly, the food is great, and its sooooo cheap!! A good change from OZ and Hong Kong, as our funds are slowly are slowly running out on us :(
We stayed in backpacker heaven, Ko Sang Road, and spent most evenings here just at the bars and mooching around the amazing markets...this is one main reason we are coming back here last, to stock up on the cheap clothes!! We also managed to arrive in the run up to the anniversary of their King's 60th year in reign, whom they all worship dearly and absolutely love....if you say a bad word about him here, apparerntly you are arrested, and they're dead serious!!! So in Bangkok around his palace and the surrounding area there were literally millions of sparkling fairy lights lining the roads, hanging from every tree and building, it was really beautiful. A sight we never thought we would see in a city like Bangkok!!
After a few rides on the crazy Tuk Tuks that are notorious in Bangkok, we have now headed down south out of the smog in search of some beautiful islands and sunshine.
