Got up in time for my checkout but had 7 hours to kill before my 15 hour train journey to Chiang Mai. I thought im going to have to buy some clothes and another backpack, malaria tablets the lot. I'm not living out of a s***ty carrier bag any longer. The luggage situation is still t*** up. 25000 bags still stranded at heathrow, i'm just having myself on, it's gonna take two weeks for them to sort it. An hour later, sorted, I have new t-shirts, malaria tablets so...

Jackpot! I feel way better today! Im glad that's done with. I got up and headed out. I needed some food so I headed down to Burger King. Halfway through my food and young bloke came in to eat and asked if he could join me, so I of course obliged. We got chatting and he was from Stirling in Scotland.

I also noticed with the tea and coffee over here that when you put the milk in it goes a clearish white, only to be told off Clare & Dave that they use condensed milk, Mmmmmmm! I left the hotel around 11...

Got up at about 1.30pm today, jetlag must have kicked in! Decided to go into Silom today for a wander in the baking heat and it's so full on! Theres just food stalls and tuk tuks everywhere! After wandering round in jeans for about 2 hours I decided to head into Kaoh San to pick some bits up as i've still no hand luggage! Smart! I went and met Clare & Dave for some tea and got some spring rolls, a main meal and a beer for about 3 quid. Whilst getting some s...
