Just a quick update on my blog from yesterday... I was scammed even more than I thought. My "nice Thai man"... you remember, the soldier... was blatantly in on the plot to get me in that Tuk Tuk. I know this because on my return I was speaking to an English girl staying in my dorm who was spun almost exactly the same story (that very day) before being persuaded to get on a Tuk Tuk... only to go on pretty much the same magical mystery tour that I did... ...

Interesting couple of days in Bangkok... my flight landed about 7pm Monday. I knew had to catch the bus AE2 to one stop before Khao San Rd and my hostel would be pretty much bang there... well, after purchasing my ticket I was informed that today, and today only, the bus would be stopping at Khao San Rd only - woop! So I should have to march around Bangkok (giant bag in tow...) in the dark searching for my hostel... anyway, to cut a long story short, I found it.....
