Although Koh Tao was a great experience, after a week of island hopping we were eager to step away from the beaches. Away we go to a little place called Bankok. We weren't too amped on going to the city, because we had heard it wasn't exactly the coolest city in the world, but we had to give a chance. Catch a 2pm ferry ride and overnight bus, we arrive over twelve hours later (3am that is) to a suprisingly still bustling Bangkok on the infamous Khoa San Road. Drunk kids blissfully running around this tourist haven, lady boys, and the ever present noodle and souvenir stands. An hour later, after hitting way too many full guesthouses, a street over we find a little place to settle down for the next two nights. Lauren and Janna have accompanied us on this journey, but they plan to head back to Scotland in a few days.
Not too much interesting happens the following day, a bit of shopping, wandering, tuk tuks, and rain.
The best part of Bangkok is meeting up that night with some Dutch friends we met on Koh Tao, the scottish ladies, and us three, to enjoy a few drinks on Khoa San. A night of terrible live music, rowdy mexicans, wandering kittens, and our very own, Ronald Mcdonald.
