Arrived 2 hours late after delays in Kuwait. Had a good flight overall and had met an interesting chap on the plane - James Stallibrass, travelling to Thailand to spend time illustriting a book (James, it will be interesting to see the results, so keep in touch). Shared a Taxi into Bangkok centre & had a big ruck with the taxi driver after droping James off at his hotel!!!!! Manged to sort it out before being dropped off at the "KC Guest House" in the Banglumpoo district. Not a bad place but no internet or aircon which was a bit disapointing as it was supposed to be part of the deal.
The six million dollar question is......... what do I think of Bangkok? Well............ when I arrived, my first thoughts were oh my god! Pollution, traffic, noise....... need I say more. But by night, the whole place lights up, with street vendors selling everything from amazing Thai food to "genuine" counterfeit designer clothes & watches. I even tried deep fried insects of various kinds, the locusts & silk worms being particularly tasty! Even better, I have not yet had any repercussions!
For those of you that might be interested, everything that
Bangkok
A tasty snack I packed was from the recomended list on "packinonebag.com" & I have to say that I have already used nearly every item at least once.
