Neither of us slept a lot last night. Not sure if that's because our body clocks are still knackered, or because we were so excited. We were up at 6am & dropped most of our washing at the front desk by 7am as we waited for our bus to pick us up. At 7.30am we were crammed into our transport & off through the packed traffic of Bangkok. It took a few hours to be out of the city limits & into the countryside. We swapped minibuses about 10am for our first ...

After another late night we didn't get out of bed until 1pm again. We didn't drink much last night so were feeling ok although Jac wasn't feeling 100%. We had some street food then wandered along Kaosan where Jac dropped off a dress to be altered. We then both went for manicures & pedicures because it was so cheap, although they did laugh when I said I wanted one as well. But damn don't I look pretty now. We then found a currency exchange where we could get s...

Oh god I don't feel well. We woke about 1pm & I had the worst of hangovers with my stomach churning like a cement mixer. It took forever to shower & get ready as Jac coaxed me out of the room to get a feed. I couldn't stomach the thought of Thai food so we found a burger king where we paid $12 for a feed. That hurts after spending only a $ or 2 for every other meal. After this we returned to the room where we slept for a few more hours. As darkness descen...

We headed out into the heat this morning but in all honesty it wasn't as bad as what we had been building it up to be. We had a bit of a feed in a restaurant on the main road near us before catching a taxi to Chatachuk weekend market. It's one of the worlds largest markets covering 27 acres & Jac was determined that we explored every one of those acres. It has everything you could ever dream of & we managed to buy a couple of very cheap clothes. We spent ...

The first flight ended up being a lot better than we had expected. After the heat of the airport & dealing with the Chinese queue jumpers at check-in we finally boarded. As we walked in we found we had 2 seats to the side of the plane all to ourselves. We were 3 rows back from the start of economy & our aisle had extra leg room. There were pillows & blankets awaiting us on the seat & the plane was nice & cool. We settled in pretty happy as we ...
