I tell you what, our second time in Bangkok was worse than the first. We met some friends here for dinner, they were leaving for England a week ahead of us. We all had some nice wine and food and went to sleep content ... all but one of us. She had food poisoining and was up all night.

We hired a tuk-tuk and driver for 2 days for the mere sum of about $5. Cheap as chips! We found out the hard way that sometimes the Lonely Planet does actually provide you with sound advice ...
