I arrived in Hong Kong on the 19th of October - it's great there!!
I met back up with Lisa at our hostel and we got some street food with a few people from the hostel Neil, Kylie and Rachel it was gooood! The next day we tried to go the Grand Palace but were told it was 'closed' we now know this is a scam when the people outside try and get you to go to other attractions for only 20bhat but i think they must get some kind of comission for it because me and Lisa made the driver wait ages for us a few times and 20 bhat is like 50p?! Anyway this little de tour took us to a golden budda and a golden mountain was pretty but I wouldnt say its a must do thing in Bangkok. That eve will chilled in the hostel watching Family Guy haha - we also bumped into a guy we saw loads of times in Vietnam so was funny to see him again.
We met an american girl Jess in our room who is travelling with two friends Owyn and Rob and they have ended up with the same hostel as us in chaing mai which is cool.
We went to the Grand Place on the 21st and it was worth the wait it was really nice and so prety the pics I took dont really do it justice which is a shame! We went to China Town after and i picked up a nice little 'Louis Vuitton' bag haha.
Me and Lisa decided to go and see some Thai boxing in Bangkok but a night market caught our eye on the way and we ended up going there instead lol! Typical! I brought quite alot and sent it all home the next day - hope it actually arrives!
The next day we got a night bus to Chiang Mai which we nearly missed because the traffic is really bad in Bangkok - soooo bad! But we made it and the bus was ok apart from the obligatory squat toilet stop at the gas stations lol!
All in all Bangkok was great and wish we could have stayed longer to sample the night life etc and go to the other markets because they are meant to be massive! xx
