Alive in Bangkok

G’day all well the trip has began and we are both alive and well in a dodgy “Guest House” on Khao San Rd and yep we are feeling like guests in our overpriced 5 buck a night accommodation. The trip was going well with a flock of rellies at the airport for the traditonial farewell and we didn’t miss our flight or anything until we got to Sydney. In Sydney we boarded our plane and sat in out seats then I realized I didn’t have my passport I had dropped in somewhere. After a frantic search and a bit of a backtrack to customs I found it camouflaged on the carpet under my chair. What a pelican hey!! So that was a good adrenalin rush to start the trip off. We arrived in Bangkok around 10:30 at night and caught the shuttle bus to the main tourist strip and found out bed for the night. I then took Dan for a nice stroll down Khao San Rd where we were confronted by a million dirty old Thai men wanting us to go to their “massage” place for a “happy ending” and “looooong time”. We kept walking and got a Tuk Tuk driver to take us for a bit of a cruise around the district before dodging a few rabies infected dogs and screaming cats and finally getting that sleep I’ve been hanging for about a week now. We have had a pretty crazy day today. Dan and I cruised around in a Tuk Tuk for free all day on the trade that we visit three tailor shops and pretend we are interested so the tuk tuk driver gets free gas vouchers. He ended up taking us everywhere including a big golden buddah statue, a golden mountain temple, and also some lucky temple where we had to pray and tried not to laugh. In 40 mins we head off on a overnight bus to Koh Phangan to the worlds biggest beach party "The Full Moon Party".....again. Should be great. So that’s all for now all safe and well and having a ball.
