Helllllooooo from bangkok, Its dirty smelly covered in litter there are flies and mozzies everywhere people hastle you to by loads of stuff its full of 18 year old "alternative" people who still think that dreadlocks is a good look......but you know what its actually pretty damn good! lots of great food if you dont mind buying it from a stall in the road, and (unlike Japan ) nobody cares what you do! Got a few days to explore the area and i think the best way to do it is on the back of a tuk tuk (see Photo) you can go round for about an hour on one of these things for about 2 quid or so, you can haggle but its so cheap anyway! the Khoa san road is not all i expected it to be but i might get a maid to measure suit made if the price is right, ok must be off coz the beer is 6.5% and only 80p a pint and i've got to get my monies worth. Take care all Dave.
