Final day in Bangkok, so we got up in time for breakfast to make the most of it. We headed into the MBK mall at Siam Square, where I finally found a suitable hair dresser. I indulged in hours of hair pampering, while Darren went upstairs to check out the swanky internet lounge. Unfortunately my hair dresser couldn't speak much English, so I had a girl translating for me, and obviously something got muddled along the way since my wish of "only a trim" turned into ...

After a great night's sleep in a comfy bed, we checked out the "Business lounge" for a posh breakfast, then decided to head to the infamous Weekend Market, which resulted in a rapid stress flow.

After deciding to stay an extra day on the Island, we took a taxi to the popular "White Sand Beach" which was packed with resort hotels and western food restaurants- a tourist trap. We booked our transport to Cambodia and hitched another taxi to the national park to go and check out the highly recommended waterfalls of Koh Chang. We had to pay a small entrance fee and leave all of our food behind before we set out on the short jungle trek along the river to ge...
