Hello!
We've been here two days already, and already have a lot to talk about!
We arrived in Bangkok at 8am local time, after a long flight stopping in Mumbai for an hour, or what should have been an hour but was actually like half an hour and we had to rush to catch our next flight as our first one was delayed! Nevermind.
Since we've been here we've been doing our best to explore the city, but every time we've tried we've been cornered by somebody trying to sell something! Whether it's a tuktuk ride, a taxi, or a sausage on the street. Honestly I don't know who these sales people think they are ;-)
Even though we were once again trying to look around Bangkok on our own today. and somehow ended up talking to a random Thai guy, who wanted us to go to a travel agents to sort out our trip to Cambodia, it worked out in our favour because we've now sorted our next two weeks out, including our accomodation and overnight bus transfers. We ended up having a beer with this guy, and walking a LOT as he showed us a very cheap (but good!) bar, and some different places. On 3rd we will be heading up North to Chiang Mai, to go trekking and ride elephants, and to also go bamboo rafting. Tomorrow we have booked a trip to the floating markets and tiger temples...where we get to pet tigers that live with monks!
Thats two things i'm going to cross off the "must do before I die" list.
We'll be spending 9 days in Chiang Mai, and coming back after a ten hour train ride back into Bangkok, to get a bus to Siem Reap in Cambodia. Thats when the temple adventure will begin, if I don't turn into Lara Croft, you have permission to shoot me!
We'll be visiting Angkor Wat (where the tomb raider was filmed...the Lara Croft reference was actually relevant!) and then after a while heading back into Thailand to see the Islands!
They seem to absolutely love Man United over here which Luke is happy about , everytime he wears that stripy wasp-colour shirt he gets random guys come up to him talking about Manu, good that they share a passion I suppose ;-)
Thats all for now,
Liz & Luke xxx
