First day in Bangkok
This went well! I survived the part of the trip I was most scared about... the cab ride from the airport to the hotel. The city is nice. It reminds me some of Cario, but prettier and cleaner.
I went around and had my first experience with Thai food, noodles and shrimp, quite tasty. While there I met an ozzie, Katie, who was leaving Bangkok today, she gave me her map and we talked for an hour or so. She recommended some stuff to do tomorrow. I have an additional day free tomorrow until 5 pm when I meet my tour.
Next I went and got at 160 bhat massage! basically 1 dollar equals 30 bhats. So 5 dollars got my back...back in order, I was cracked, twisted, pulled, and pounded, delightfully. :)
Next I walked the streets, found a sim card for Thailand, brought street food. Plain noodles and a pineapple shake. That was the meal of the day so far.
Exploring is working. I'm looking forward to taking a good nights rest.
But in the mean time, I'm sitting across the street from my hotel, enjoying Thai's 'finest' beer, and waiting for some sort of BBQ chicken. Listening to a great 14 year old playing guitar.
Bye for now!

I enjoy reading all your posts. Keep them coming. It reminds me a lot of Will's trips to India and reading his blog. One thing I have learned from reading friends' travel blogs is that food is talked about a lot.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your post I kinda want to go to a Thai restaurant. Thanks.
