got to bangkok late last night after a great flight (although - 'vegetarian' meals on Qantas seem to mean u get half as much food as everyone else - no puddings, no chocolate, no 'warm bread rolls'... bit of a dissappointment!) and checked into a hostel with my german friend - martin. 250 bahts a night... which is like 3 pounds or something, and we have our own shower/tv and breakfast is included!
woke up pretty late this morning - been feeling really run down recently, the last few days in sydney i had hardly any sleep at all because we just felt like there was too much to do and no time to waste (and the hostel we were in was pretty noisy and minging) had a walk around bangkok and quickly got bombarded by chatty thai men trying to sell us stuff and giving us advice on where to go, what to do etc... got whisked into a tuk tuk and taken all around the city - to the lucky buddha, a random tourism office and a temple thing, which was pretty cool. the rest of the day we just wandered around, mainly getting more and more lost as the day went on since our hostel this morning was out of maps (and every street looks the same) meals are so cheap here - we've just had dinner and i had pad thai with a beer in an awesome restaurant for like 2 pounds or something. tomorrow we're going to go to some cocktails bars and stuf because martins friend is comign from sydney, and we've found a place that does cocktails for 60 bahts (theres 69 bahts to the pound.... pretty cheap huh!)
oh yeah - and i had a thai massage earlier.... not QUITE what i was expecting. more like an extreme high-speed yoga session - this frantic thai girl was grabbing me and bending me into all sorts of wierd positions making me click and crack all over... not bad for around 1 pound 20 but i cant say ill be doing it again haha
