Well Day 2 and here we are.... sitting in the boiling heat of Bangkok still....! What a day we've had today... where do i begin...!! At half past 9 this morning we went down to breakfast, that was an experience in itself.... these people eat egg fried rice and noodles for breakfast... whats all that about... and more to the point.... has any seen the coco pops....? me thinks not....! After breakfast we hit the 12th floor of the hotel for a sun bath and a swim.... my god was that warm up there...! Got a wicked view of the city from the top of our hotel.... we'll upload the pictures of that with the ones from tomrrow....!
We asked the concierge to take us to the STA travewl office in the city and was told it was closed... oh dear, we didnt know where we were in Bangkok, what to do, where to eat or anything... the games began....! We were told by the concierge to go to the TAT which is a government based tourist office.... we jumped in a taxi to go there and if i hadnt of known better i'd of thought i was on a roller coaster in Disney World..... this bloke didnt stop for man nor beast....! Red lights meant nothing to him, so he jumped a few of them....!! A moped toppled over in front of us mearly being missed by a 10 ton bus travelling at the speed of light....! We got to the tourist center by the skin of our teeth where was to plan our next month. We're due to leave Bangkok on Monday on a flight to Phuket.... what a result.... not only do we get out of Bangkok we also get to miss the 20+ hour bus trip down to phuket....! The plan is to go to Phuket for 6 nights, then Phi Phi island for 5 nights, Koh- Pha-ngan for 5 nights for the Full Moon Party on the 5th of Novemberm Crystal Dive Resort in Koh Toa for five days where scott and Drew are going to learn to Scuba Dive then finishing up in Koh Samui in a beach Challee Villa for 6 nights. After that We're to head for Singapore Via Malaysia. Now comes the fun.... after arranging all of this we had to come back to the hotel to get our credit/debit cards etc... drew makes his way to the hole in the wall where his card gets swallowed..... OH YAY...! We finally get everything sorted and all is now booked and ready to go.
When we got back to the hotel we decided it would be a nice idea after the stressful day we'd had to go for a massage in the hotel.... i was under the impression that having one in the hotel meant no funy business that we'd already been hounded to try on the streets..... i couldnt of been far more wrong....!!! Hald way through this lovely massage the thai women says to me in her broken english.... you wan special massage.... i s**t myself....!! She'd already pulled my shorts off and covered my with a towel, theres me thinking this was normal practice, i later leared that scott managed to keep his shorts on.... i quickly declined the offer of her special massage at which point she ask's me... you sure you dont wan alison special massage.... i'm guessing she was alison.... well by this time i think she'd already decided i was getting one whether i liked it or not.... it was a case of close your eyes and think of England.... we won't be going back there in a hurry....!!! Scott wants his money back he didnt even get the chance to decline an offer....!!! Such a shame....!!
Tomorrow see's our last day here so we are visitng the floating market and the temples to get some cracking photos.... i'll upload them tomorrow night.... take care and take a look at the photos tomorrow...
love to all as always
Jamie, Scott and Drewster xxxxx
