Hey Hey it's BKK!

Hey Mum and Dad…
Guess what… I’ve got a mad tan, decided to get tats all over my body , pierced both ears and the back of neck, shaved half my head into some kinda fucked up eastern influenced mess and got myself a Singha t-shirt… Welcome to Bangkok!

13 hours in transit, including a delay in Adelaide and I finally got this magical mystery tour on the road! Touchdown was at around 11:00pm’ish giving me plenty of time to get lost in the Bangkok airport, duck and weave the dozen or so hopeful entrepenours each of which had their very own deal too good to refuse, and find myself a taxi. Two phone calls from my taxi driver to my hotel asking directions later (the radio blaring Big Brown Eyes by Shaggy to put my mind at ease) and it was 12:30am I was checked in, had inspected my new home for the next 4 nights (very sweet pad) and thrown my stuff all over the place.

30 seconds of deliberation over whether or not to give in to my extremely tired state and I was out of the room and headed for Khoa San Rd the heart beat of in the City that tourists flock to like a moth would to something they really enjoy being near, and so would also flock to.

The rest of the night was passed at a quiet bar talking rubbish with a couple of American film makers (one of who was a native american from NYC– so cool) and a young Irish couple… The conversation was bit of a travel story chest beating session, but the cold San Miguels and socialising within a large pack of westerns was a nice safe start to the trip…. Can’t have been too bad as I still managed to struggle through till 4:30am.

A quick and massive thanks to everyone for their well wishes before I left too… a crazy last couple of weeks, but it’s definitely appreciated! A special thanks to you too Ames for not only putting up with the never ending Travel talk and planning over the last… ummm ever… but for getting me organised and on the plane too!
