We arrived in Bangkok on the famous Khao SAn road in the early hours of the morning to a startling wake up when a guy ran on our bus screaming everyone off now. At first i thought we were being hijacked then i realised that we were finally there. I was the first to react and therefore first off the bus, as i stepped off i got swarmed by TukTuk drivers all trying to start conversations and rip us off. After a 2 minute walk we came to our hotel (Viengtai Hotel), this was the start location of our tour and was quite posh, which was a nice change from the hovels we'd got used to.
A few hours later we ventured out on to the streets of Bangkok for some breakfast. Now we heard Bangkok was full of Ladyboys but we never imagined there would be so many , or so ridiculously obvious. The restaurants were brimming with them as waitresses (or is it waiters) and after having to endure a meal we headed back to the hotel to meet with the tour group. There were 12 of us in total including the 2 leaders, Jeab and Ka. The rest were two germans - julia and sandra, two ozzys - sam and fiona, two south africans - sam and kate, one brit - jen, and one scottish - mick.
We got a quick briefing about the tour and then headed out to a restaurant on Khao San road as a group. We quickly found out the leader Ka was quite a character and had the funniest laugh in the world, so funny infact that by the end of the tour everyone was trying to mimmick it as there own.
We then headed to a bar to watch a bit of footie before heading back to the hotel as we were heading off up North to Sukhothai ( the first capital of Thailand) the next day.
Dont worry though we return to Bangkok in a few days to explore the liviest and wierdest city on earth.
