Bangkok As we are studious and sensible with money we spent two hours traveling on public buses (after getting up at 9, flying, then landing in a foreign place - aren't we good!) to get to Koah San Rd - the backpacking Mecca of Bangkok!!!! It was lashing it down - we were walking with our backpacks in the midst of a tropical storm!!!! Loved it, see the pics of us drenched! Debs - Chris fell asleep on the bus and I swear to god I had a horrible time looking out...
