Im heading north to chang mai after 3 awesome days in bangkok. The flight over was torterous, i sat next to a irish girl who smelt a bit and the air con didnt work properly.. anyway this girl hannah saw i was useless and as she had been bangkok before she took me all the way to my hotel via the bus..she got a beer for her niceness..everyone drinks tiger over here.
anyway once checked in a floated around khosan road for and becam the number 1 fan of these two thai guys playing an accoustic set in mollys bar (went back again the following 2 days) That night i ended up getting drunk with a danish guy, nicoline, a australian guy called dan and a kia, a girl from skeggie!!!
The next dat me and nicoline went to the grand palace. The best bit was the walk there..nicoline likes to walk because you see more..we got lost and after a shortcut through the uni (i think we may have been trespassing) we ended up on some market street with no westerners, my only experience of real thai culture so far. The palace itself was pretty and shiny but i got bored preet quick..nicoline took us on another random walk on the way back but just when i was thinking these guy had a real sense of adventure i clocked on that he was just following the shade cos he was so hot.
I spent that afternoon chatting to a few randoms on khosan road including a 80 yugoslav who had been non stop travelling for 20 years..very interestin but intense guy..he has real issues with america and they should not give him a visa..that night i bum[ped into kia again, she teaches over here so took me bars of the beaten track (well kind of) and ended up getting to bed at 5am.
i was up at half 6 for the floating market, not on top form. it was an hours minibus journey and my spirits were only hightened when a french girl pitched up battered holding a bacardi breezer. before the market we had a boat ride which was awesomer (the guide woman kept calling it james bond boat which carcked me up) was at the market for a few hours and spent most of the time writing my name for thai kids.
Anyway last night i watched the englad game and had heavy night drinking, mainly with this guy called any but on thwe way we met an israeli, american, 3 iraniens (they fuelled us with whisky and kept pointint out they arent terrorists, nicoline again, 4 germans and loads of english. Some thai girl thought i was staring at her and kicked off (i was watching the footie behind her head).
Bangkok has been awesome. ill upload my photos at some point but it takes ages and is a real pain. As emma knows i dont really take many photos when im having fun so they may not be the best summary of my time in bangkok
