Ok, so the story so far .................
Missed the train to London, woops, sorry everyone who was involved and thanks mum for buying my new ticket!!
Arrived at our hotel Lamphu Tree House about 17:30 which was really nice ashame it was way over budget, decided to go and but some water from the shop although we had to cross a road, took us about 10 mins to figure it out zebra crossings cars are supposed to let you cross, but here they dont, you have to just start walking or running in our case and hope for the best!!
That night we decided to check out what was going on and then the heavens opened we were absolutely soaked and stuck in a market that was just for locals by the look of it ha, we eventually made it to Koh San road and so the rip offs started.
Next morning we decided to take a wonder check out what was going on, everyone seems like they all want to help and start trying to direct us, although what they really want is for you to take a trip to see the 'Big Buddha' apparently its only open 1 day per year and its free, we kept saying no until eventually we fell for it ended up in a Tuk Tuk the Buddah its self was quite good but it is open everyday of the year, after that the tuk yuk driver takes you to a TAT office and they try and sell you trips, he said he would take us back we said no at this point, but others didnt and ended up in every Jem shop in BK sad times for them!!
We then realised all Tuk Tuks and most Taxi's are rip offs so we walked EVERYWHERE in 30 degree heat and 78% humidity but it was worth it.
Pat Pong and the Ping Pong show was an experience i never want to go through again, but it was funny, Becki even got offered a private lesbian show off a big butch ladyboy ha ha!!
We saw loads of Buddha temples (Wats) which were amazing and went to the Grand Palace where Beckie had to borrow a prison shirt as they wouldnt let her cover her arms with her Pashmini.
We ate some good Pad Tai and drank loads of Singha, although we havent sampled the deep fried bugs yet.
We left BK on the 31st at 19:35 on an overnight train which was supposed to arrive at 9:45 although it didnt get us to Chiang Mai until it was running late, i could have ran faster than it at some points ha so we were stuck on it for 18 hours!!!
To be continued ......
Sorry for the lack of things we did guys, i keep forgetting it all, but i have now started writing eveything down so my stories will get better i promise!! xx
