Hi, am back in Bangkok. Am staying at the China Town Hotel, that's in the China Town area, no surprise, I didn't get to see it on my previous visit. The streets are busy, all food vendors along the pavement, smell is unbeleiveable (bad), a mixture of exhaust fumes, smoke from cooking pots and rotting food...nice. Just walked across six lanes of traffic, have to walk slowly and try not to be killed obviously. Mario, Bob lives in OZ, he moved there a few year...

'ello, have now left Thailand and am in the Communist Peoples Republic of Loas! It's a lot laid back than Thailand, got my visa on entry, had to pay an extra US dollar cos it was the weekend (to pay for their overtime). The airport was small, once outside, it was surrounded by huts and mountains in the background, hardly an metropolis.
