Bangkok

The flight was good and all went to plan - watched a couple of films and slept a little bit aswell - food was tasty and the air hostesses were up to scratch. We got to the hotel in the afternoon and dropped our bags off and wondered around the roads for a while get hasseled by every person we walked by! The smells as we went down the road were mad as one second you could smell fumes and the next you could smell tasty thai food that was being cooked by the side of the road. We went to our hotel for dinner and then headed off to bed.



Today, our first full day in bangkok started off with tom getting chased by a load of homeless people chucking bird food at him until he payed them money! we walked briskly on and took photos of him being attacked! We then headed off to the Grand Palace and Reclining buddah and a load of other Temple tings that were all gold and shiny! After this we went on a boat trip and a sky train to get to a huge shopping centre that was alot more modern and less pushy than the old part that we are staying.

We then headed off into a big park where we ended up in pedalos around a huge lake where we saw huge dragons (well very large lizards) bathing around the park which was very scary! This evening has envolved going to a crazy night market where we picked up a load of bargains (like superman t-shirts!) and all sorts! Were very much getting into the swing of haggling people until the give in a sell us something for very cheap!
