Hey guys we have arrived safe and well.
Driving into Bangkok was crazy the scenery is strange to say the least! They have tiny little wooden thai houses amongst a forest of sky scrapers! Little tiny shanti huts along the main motorway, children playing along the rail tracks.
Any way we got off our lovely cool ac coach and were instantly bombarded by tuk tuk and taxi drivers insisting we need to go to the TAT office (Tourist authority Thailand) and that we couldnt just walk into a hotel and book a room! Anyway steve the mug was like come on stace we wont get a rrom. But we did. we stayed at a nice over pricced guest house just off kho san road for 1000baht!
We took a Tuk Tuk sightseeing for 40 baht about 80p. it was an hour long ride went to see some temples and were taking to TAT. we only asked how much the train would be to chiang mai but the next thing you know they were trying to arrange our whole trip and asking for 1000 pounds!!!! Was not impressed. Our driver den then took us to a taylor shop he explained that by taking tourists here he would recieve free petrol. SO note to self never get in a tuk tuk again!
Really didnt enjoy Bangkok. People are hounding you all the time. We walk out of our hotle and we have about 10 people al trying to sell us something or take us somewhere. The heat is too much aswell. You only have to step outside of your ac room and you will melt into a puddle!
Anyway Lini silk hareems are gna be expensive so they have some lovely cotton ones and they are so nice. Im wearing them now and they keep me so cool plus very fashionable over here. Do you still want them?
Went to Kho San Road tonight men kept asking steve if he would like to go to a ping pong show!!! No thankyou! Anyway the road is great so many people seling weird and wonderful things. Crickets cockroaches etc. Dont think i will be trying them!
Anyway now off to bed were going to Ayutthaya tomor.
