DAY4&5 (Bangkok, Thailand)

Arriving in BK around midnight (with no accom sorted) and getting dropped off in one of the main travellers streets was like diving into a 100mm deep pool head first. I would be lying if I said I wasnt slightly concerned about everyone around me. Not to mention the piece of shit stock-car that took us from the airport (pic's to come). The two days were mainly spent drinking 50B ($2NZ) big bots, eating from the street vendors for between 25B and 75B and staying a converted prison cell at 210B (~$nz4 each) a night for me and matt.

The first night we ended up getting rather intoxicated at which turned out to be one of the cheapest bars in town, when we decided to leave matt had the idea that it would be brilliant for us to get into some bugs. We ended up just munchuing a couple grass-hoppers while some other western tourists were asking us if we were on 'fear factor' or just plain crazy all the while taking photos.

Yo Cuz,
You should stay at Jungle News just over the bridge from the fort, turn left just past the ice factory, nice quiet, cheap and cool owners. Away from the Khao San road freakiness.

Your Cuz Em is sitting here eating italian desserts salivating over the idea of travelling.
