This is my second try to start our trip blog. The first computer died on me while I was in the middle of my short story.

We arrived in Bangkok yesterday morning after about a 15.5 hour flight and a 2 hour lay over in Hong Kong. Flight was not too bad but we both wish that we could have slept for more then only a few minutes at a time. We of course went Economy but Business would be that way to go. You can lay down to sleep in Business. Would be nice.

Ride in from the airport was not as crazy as 3 years ago. Rene says it is because we arrived much earlier this time around. But onces you got in to town the craziness started. Cars, tuk tuks, people walking everywhere. But our taxi driver got us to the Thai Cozy House safe and sound. I believe we paid $400. baht which included a 50 baht fee for who deals with taxi's out of the airport and tip. In Canadian give or take it would have cost us about $12.00.

We walked around Khao San Rd yesterday after arriving at our hotel. Was not as busy as we remember it to be. But still the same for all the shops and merchants. After eating at a familier place, Khoa San Road Center, which we are pretty sure that the same male that waited on us 3 years ago waited on us then, we headed back to the hotel for a nap. A well needed nap it was.

We slept a bit longer then expected and woke up to the dark skies. Went out for a wander around and to find some more food. NowKhoa San Rd was hopping. People all over the place eating, drinking and walking about. Now this was the Khoa San we remembered.

Found a place to sit down and eat just one block up from the Khoa San. There was a fellow playing his guiter and singing across from where we were eating. He was pretty good. And down the street there were some drunk or on their way to being drunk tourists listening to music and dancing in the street. All was interesting to watch.

By the time we got back to our room it was 1:30 in the morning. I took a travel sickness pill and Rene a sleeping pill to get us on the track to living on Thai time. We did sleep all night and woke up at 7 ish this morning. So hopefully this is a good sign.

Today we want to book our flight to Chiang Mai and take a wander around China Town.

Time to go for now. Will be back on our travel site soon.
