...Bring on Bangkok: Thai Beer. Koh San Road. Ping-Pong Show...

Well i made it here safely :o)

Its still really surreal and very strange so much time by myself... and dying to have a proper chat, chat, chat with someone although i have had some funny conversations already.

Flying to the Islands today which i'm looking forward to. Its ok here in Bangkok but it is a bit of a dive and everyone is constantly trying to make money out of you... but its an experience.

Also can't believe how cheap everything is here.

Been having some lovely dinners for less than two pound plus went and had a French Manicure and Pedicure for less than a fiver.

The Thai food is gorgeous and the beer is really nice... considering i'm not normally a beer drink i'm quite surprised i like it.

Went out drinking last night with some blokes from Austria, Germany and LA and some girls from Manchester, Glasgow and Australia... a right old mixed bunch... was quite a funny evening, especially cos the blokes had problems understanding my accent so all the conversations started getting confussing.

Went for drinks on a street bar on the Koh San Road, then visited a night market and then went to a ping-pong bar it was sooooo funny you wouldn't believe what these women can do.... but what i'm curious about is how did they know they could do these things... whistling, shooting darts to pop balloons, opening bottles... was well funny.

Going to go on some tours when i get back to Bangkok so that should be interesting like going over the river Kwai and Tiger Temple plus floating Market... might go on a two day tour where you stay in a hostel somewhere else for the night but will wait and see when i come back.

Really looking forward to going Koh Samui tomorrow. Just hope it isn't chucking it down with rain there like it is here.

And then its the Full Moon Party for next Friday :o)
