Hey from Bangkok !!!!!
So, we left for the airport and arrived in plenty of time, only to find out that we werent booked onto any flight!! Great Start! As you can imagine I started freaking out while Mike played Mr Cool, lol! So after hanging around waiting for answers, we were finally sent to the help desk, where we found out that sta travel had forgotten to revalidate our ticket after they had changed one of our flights (apparently this is a common thing that happens with sta travellers!). Luckily we managed to call sta travel in time to sort it all and eventually we got checked in and headed straight to the bar!
We arrived on time in Bangkok and the flight was fine, we managed to sleep a bit. We got a taxi to Khao San Road, which due to some festival took about 45 mins, and every1 is mental on the roads out here! We got dropped off at the top of Khao San Road and walked around for 15 mins or so to find a hoste, my bag is soooo heavy!! We managed to find a really good one, called, Mom's Guest House, for 400 baht a night with A/C which is needed as its so hot and humid here. We dumped our stuff, showered and headed straight out for the night, we pretty much went to one bar, got some food from one of the market stalls which is lush, took a walk then headed for another bar. I drank beer as its cheap but also very strong so managed to be pissed pretty quick, happy times! So when an elephant suddenly popped up infront of me and Mike it took me a while to realise, lol.
We both slept very well as were both knackered from being up nearly 2 days, so got up bout 9, got ready and we headed back out on Kaho San Road for some brekkie/lunch! We also stupidly got in a tuk tuk, which to begin with was fine, we were taken to the big golden Buddah, which is a very holy place with people praying and kissing his feet! Me and Mike took a few pictures then went bak to Mr tuk tuk man who took us to some temples, where we got talking to a random little thai guy who told us his life story bless him! When we then asked the tuk tuk man to take us back to khao san road when he tryed to say he would take us to his mates shop for us to look at some clothes and he would get free petrol, we refused, had an argument with him, so got out and walked off without paying anything! We did also nearly die about 5 times the way he drove so we jumped in a taxi andf got a lift back to Khao san road where we felt slightly safer, lol!
We are now waiting to coach an 11 hr coach up to Chang Mai where we are spending a few days. We do another blog once we are back from there.
Hope everyone is well!!!
Amy and Mike
