Ok so here is the blog...
So we left Phi Phi on Friday morning and eventually got to Bangkok later that afternoon, cant really remember much about the day as i think we slept most of the time we were travelling... We jumped into a taxi and bundled off through the hectic Bangkok traffic, finally arriving at Kohsan Road - and what a sight! the road is amazing, competely bustling with tuk tuks and ladies with crazy hats on scraping little wooden things that make a sound like a frog...whenever i hear a frog croak in the future i'll always be reminded of Bangkok! we headed to the D&D - it was full. oh dear, never mind. we headed to another place - full. ah, oh well, lets keep going... another and another - all full!!!! oops!!! we eventually found somewhere that had room - a very very basic room with hard beds for 400ish baht a night lol was so funny. so we didnt waste time in our room and headed straight out for the market lining the road, a bit like any other market, just thai - surprise surprise! we had dinner and a drink, finally heading home. didnt actually sleep that badly considering, must have been tired from the travelling... the next morning we were up early and headed out to the Grand Palace with the emerald buddah and the Wat Po which has the giant reclining buddah. wow what a morning!!! felt incredibly cultured!! the buildings were absolutely amazing, beautiful and glittering in the sun. Pretty hard to describe to be honest. The buddah was ENORMOUS - i was expecting it to be like the size of a sofa or something!haha!how wrong i was! the grand palace was certainly grand - and i had to rent out a 'gorgeous' purple full length skirt as my cropped trousers were too short - oops, thought they were going to be ok!the main attraction there was the emerald buddah - which we couldnt get up close to because of the crowds, but we go close enough to see that it was stunning.
yes so a very busy morning, and we were feeling a little queasy due to the amount of smog around - not nice! lunch was spent looking for an alternative place to stay - which we did - a very nice room we have now, with a roof top pool to keep us happy after we have to check out later at 12 until we leave for the airport. other than that we have spent the whole time browsing the street stalls...
ah ive had such a great time here it is such a shame to be leaving as ive said before - but here i come LA!!!!!
Happy Mothers Day Mum, love you lots XXXXXXXXXXX
