So arriving in Bangkok, once again bombarded by people shouting 'tuk tuk, tuk tuk, taxi!' As there of 5 of us we hopped in a taxi for the first time in 7 weeks and headed to the hostel, which had to be hands down the smelliest hostel we have ever stayed in. It just stank of pure egg! Dropping our bags off we headed for some food and hit up the famous Khao San Road. Walking up and down we headed to a roof top pool to top up these tans that just clearly were not ha...

Another pool day, seriously where are our tans?! The boys came back from Pai and rejoined us so we decided to head to central plaza mall.

Getting up feeling surprising good, it was time to learn how to cook Thai food from scratch at the Thai cooking school. We met up with Ar again and piled into our tuk tuk for the first stop, the market. We learnt about the background of Thai cuisine and the ingredients needed for certain recipes. After that it was off to the outdoor kitchen where we had to choose 7 different dishes that we wanted to make. The first dish was soup, gathering our ingredients ready ...
