Spend four night completely bewildered and amazed at this city. So much to see and to do I think a couple or a few visits would be the only way to do it justice. However I did try my best to see and do as much as I could with a great last night with a friend of a friend who took me to a bar to watch football and then various drinking places which reflected the authentic Bangkok night life experience! Thanks Mike for your guidance and advice. Temples, transport, cycle ride and great food sums up my experience and amazing people. Incredible homage to the religion of Buddhism represented in wonderful temples with large over the top gold Buddhas, Wat pho with the reclining buddha and Wat Arun being my favourites. A travel infrastructure including tuc tucs and motorcycle taxis that are more thrilling than the best Alton Towers ride! A sky train that hovers above the manic polluted and hectic streets and an efficient river ferry service that gives that unique commuter and sightsee experience at the same time. Hostel was great, Lub d in Silom which was a great base, great flight with Jet airways, great food, hectic transition at Mumbai - to be expected! Had a good rest to get over the flight and then ready to go, booked the rest of the Thai trip to take me to Chiang Mai for 24th Feb, had a great feet and leg massage, so good after a long day walking, had a couple of great meals at Bees street cafe washed down by a few bottles of Chang, went to the backpackers home of Kao San Road, akin to a rave that goes the whole length of a high street with street food, bars, loads of Europeans as explained to me later it would be the last place Thai people would want to spend an evening, the staple diet appeared to be buckets of rum and red bull, not to share, a bucket each, bit early on my trip for that just yet! Then after all this madness went for a cycle ride with two German and two Dutch couples which was a very humbling experience, we cycled through poor villages through narrow paths with single room corrugated iron dwellings on both sides, we saw families of many generations sitting together crammed into these rooms and whilst challenging to the western mentality every dwelling had smiling faces, the kids would run out to high five us and the adults would shout 'hi' as we went past, we then went over the river to the island designated a green area and cycled across narrow concrete paths that were elevated above water and grass areas, saw plants that we may put in the corner of the room for an exotic nature look but these were 15 times as big and everywhere, I was so pleased to see this other side of this crazy place. All in all what a great way to start my trip, after being wired for a few days I am now going to take it easy on the beaches of Hua Hin down the coast.
