Good afternoon to everyone from muggy Bangkok, I thought I would do a entry on the blog as Sians been hogging the keyboard for the last three weeks and she is also sleeping AGAIN because she dont feel well!!
Anyway as you all know we have arrived in Thailand safely which is a relief for me because I didnt really want to fly as I developed a fear of flying, loser, and was doing my Mr T impression (I aint getting on no plane) for the whole time in SA, which also the apparent sleeping tablets which I bought in SA didnt even work so I was wide awake throughout the whole ordeal/flight!!
Back to Thailand, we arrived here at about 12:30 pm and as soon as we got off the plane is was sweltering, especially for me anyway, and we ended up standing around for about an hour in the slowest queue ever (which was funny watching Sian get more and more frustrated with as all the other queues seems to be going 10 times faster as they always do) but we eventually got through passport control and everything else and collected our bags. We didnt have a transfer from the airport to our hostel so we got a cab which cost us a whopping 900 baht which is about 15 pound, while we was sorting out the cab they also offered us day trip for the following day where you got to see some temples, buddhas and that and for only 400 baht which we thought wasnt bad and accepted the offer. The cab driver dropped us off just off Khaosan Road and said our hostel was just blur, we didnt really understand what he said but just nodded politely in the hope that we would just be able to find it, we spent the nest 30 mins walking around like idiot both wearing clothes that would have been more suitable for winter than summer in boiling hot weather asking random people where this hostel was, unfortunately for us there is about 10 hostels in the same area with nearly identical names so when we arrived at one of them that we were thought was ours and was told that it wasn't it didn't exactly make us happy, ahhhhhhhh, Sian was again getting very upset and annoyed I dont know why considering I was carrying both the huge backpacks AGAIN!!!!
Like I said after about 30 mins of searching we finally got directions from someone who knew what they were talking about and we found our hostel, horaaaay, we checked in and went up to our room which was on the 4th floor and just lied down with the air condition on full blast an tried to call down!! Later on that evening we decided to go and have a look around so we went down Khaosan Rd which was packed with people and lights everywhere and with restaurants, bars and god knows how many people coming up to me saying suits,suits which does become slightly aggravating especially when I dont want one!! I'm sure no surprise to anyone we ended up going into a bar to have a well earned drink which was nice and then went onto a cafe type place for something to eat and then onto another bar for a little while, it probably sounds like we were on a session but we honestly weren't. At about 12:30am we decided to go back to the room and sleep as we were both very tired. Â
Well I have waffled on for what seems like forever and only done the first day so I am going to leave it at that because if I do the whole week this blog entry will be the size of War and Peace by the time I have finished, so either me or Sian will update this again to let everyone know what else we have got up to.
We hope all is ok with everyone and take care.
Love
Darren and SianÂ
p.s Come on Wigan you can do it!!!!
