Saz and Dave's travels
Hi everyone! Today we arrived in Bangkok at about 4pm. Our travels began with a bit too much stress for our liking, as my (Sarah's) bag didn't turn up at the airport. It was only when another lone bag exactly the same as mine was going round and round the belt that we realised Mr Murphy had picked up the wrong bag! After phoning Mr Murphy who was very apologetic and waiting for an hour for him to return in his taxi with the bag we finally got in a taxi to a random hotel.
However the Royal hotel was just a bit too expensive for us budget seekers so we left and got persuaded into our very first tuk tuk by the guy outside. His son promptly whisked us to the tourist info (TAT) where we booked into the New World Lodge and also booked a trip to Chiang Mai for 7 days.
Before going to bed we sampled some delicious local cuisine - Sweet and sour veg and noodles with egg, fish and veg- which came to just 2 quid (including over 1 pint of beer for 70p).
