Well, I have made it. At 0945 this morning I was sitting outside my hotel room drinking a mai tai, 1245 Sydney time so didn't feel too bad. Bangkok is crazy busy. There are street vendors everywhere and everyone is trying to make a buck. "where you go?" seems to be the predominant saying. Walked around Khao San Road today, just masses of people selling everything you could ever want or need. Hopped into a tuk tuk to see a few sites, but unfortunatetly my camera went on the fritz again, as in, it no longer works. So . . . had to buy another camera, just what I wanted to do . . . can't travel without one though. Did I say it was hot. Dense, humid head so hot, that you drip sweat permanently. Definitely will be investing in some thai fisherman pants. Tomorrow, I will be attempting more sight-seeing and then meeting up with my group the following day. So far, so good. Can't say I care for Bangkok, lot of concrete and enormous apartment complexes everywhere. Will talk soon and hopefully upload pics from my new camera.
