Well, Bangkok's been even more eventful than we thought it would be, as the peaceful protests that have been going on for a few days suddenly turned not so peaceful on Saturday night, at the end of our road! Anyway, we arrived in Bangkok again on Friday morning and had breakfast at the train station with a Canadian couple we had met (more Canadians!)We then headed towards Khoa San Road, the backpackers haven, and to an area near to the main street to look for ...
