Arrived in Bangkok in one piece! so glad we got the train! We got into a tuk tuk at the train station which is like a 3 wheel motorbike with a cart on it! We sat in the back and got zoomed into the city. We headed to the famous Koh San Road area and found a hotel with aircon. cheap enough. Then went out to explore. Bankok is nothing like what i expected- people had used words like 'dirty', 'smelly', 'overcrouded', 'hassled' to descibe it and we didnt feel any of these! it was much much better than the conditions in bali for example and the people are so much nicer! the road is filled with little stalls selling wierd and wonderful things- loads of nice jewellery etc which of course you have to barter to get. We havent gona mad as we will be coming back here before flying out to hong-kong so may get it cheaper in laos or vietnam etc. The girls arrived last night so we are now as a four again! nice to catch up with them and exchange our crazy stories! Tomorrw we are going to check out a few temples etc. more then xxx
