After many hours of travel the 3 of us managed to find each other at a very lovely hotel about half an hour outside of the city. I had to take a VERY scary cab ride at 1 AM, considering none of the taxi drivers speak a word of English. We were so happy to meet up.
Our first day we ventured to the larges mall in south east Asia. To give you an idea- one MASSIVE floor about the size of Southland was just for cameras. We ate amazing Thai food in the food court and went to a movie! The theaters have huge reclining chairs and they play the kings anthem at the beginning of all movies and everyone stands!
The fruit- especially the mango- is truly amazing. Possibly the best part.
We have been at Khao San Road for a day now- it's the most famous backpackers road in the world. Lots I Chang beer for a dollar and shopping runs for around 6$ for pants, shirts, ect. The hostel is pretty Asian authentic because you can't wear shoes and everything's white. Planning on going to see a weekend market and the reclining Buddha today- pretty excited.
Missing home, as usual, but we're realizing this journey has started to fly. Off to famous northern city Chaing Mai on Sunday night via night train.
Lots of love xoxo
So glad to get an update & hear all is well with the travelers. I see it's 34 in Bangkok & feels like 44!! Think I'll be happy with 14 & wearing a jacket!
ReplyDeleteHappy travels.
Love to you-all 3.
Looks and sounds amazing! Glad the three amigos are together for this part of the trip! I know you will have a blast. The food sounds great and you can't beat a dollar beer! Hope you find the reclining Buddha. Have fun. Hugs all around. Make good choices. Donna
