Greetings from Bangkok.
We arrived in BKK at just after 1am Bangkok time. CRAP. Flying East China Airlines was shit. The plane was fine but I was seated right in the middle of a group of about 15 old mainland chinese. Boy was that fun. No only did they not stop talking but the old guys on either side of me were leaning over me the entire flight. One of them even tried to plug the headpone plug into the power socket. That would have been interesting if it'd made contact in the socket.
So anyway we arrived and made our way to the Khoa San road where all the youth hostels are. Being 2am in the morning by the time we got there meant that all the backpackers places were full. CRAP. So it was about 30 degrees and no where to sleep. We ended up going with a TUK TUK driver to some dodgy place down some street. The room was apprently 540 Bhat (just under 20 Aus.) But when we got there those rooms were all full too. We ended up taking an 800 Bhat room. A BIG ROOM, not. There were water sploches on the ceiling and the bathroom was soaking wet. But the A/C did work. We went from 10 degrees in Shanghai to 30 at BKK airport to about 15 again in our room. The next day we check ourselves into a youth hostel for 500Bhat. Room isn't as big but much safer and cleaner.
We've done not much but wonder around shopping places so far. Can't wait to get out of this city. Its just not very interesting. We've organised VISAs for Vietnam and Cambodia. We'll get out of here on Thursday for the South of Thailand. Hopefully we'll get some awesome weather and be able to do some water sports. Can't wait to do that. Only thing I might wanna see her is some Muay Thai. Hopefully it'll be done in the time left.
Oh by the way I managed to convince some guy DJing to let me drop a song in at some youth hostel bar. He had some good funk. We were impressed. However his equipment was 2 discmans and a dodgy mixer. No beatmixing, not even cueing. It was ulgy.
Well thats all for now...
Time about to run out.... Sorry theres no photos. yet... I'll send then when i can get access to one of these damn USB ports..
Later Dudes..
