Greetings from Smog Central

---

Well hello all,as you may have gathered i made it to Bangkok alive (despite the attentions of a moody German on the plane),and am now sat in an internet cafe somewhere in deepest darkest Banglamphu.
Arrived at Bangkok Airport this morning to queue with hundreds of others for 1 1/2 hrs just to get into the country past immigration(Take note Tony Blair!!!!),from there it was a quick sidestep past the illegal taxi touts(thanks Lonely Planet),from where i hooked up from a girl from London and was able to split the cost of the cab to the Khao San Rd area.
Tried to go to sleep in Guesthouse but no chance thanks to the adrenalin coursing through my veins at being in such a Smoggy,Dirty,Hectic City-I love it already.
Will spend the next couple of days here i think then off to get some fresh air and see some Tigers.
Take care all.Mark
