I made it, eventually after a ridiculously long flight! Luckily I met a really lovely couple called Kris and Susie on the plane, it was definitely a bonding experience when we discovered that Bangkok Airport is not even in Bangkok and much hilarity ensued trying to work out which bus to get when everything was written in Thai! I then had the ride of my life getting to the hotel when my taxi driver decided to just jump red lights occasionally!
It really is a different world out here, people in poverty living right under huge office blocks is a sight to see. The main area of the city is very well kept though and the 'dress rules' that everyone talks about don't seem to exist! I haven't managed to hook up with any other backpackers yet, in the area I'm staying they are a little thin on the ground. I am going over to the backpacker area tomorrow though and will probably do the temples so hopefully more luck there. No pictures as of yet but I will try and do some for the next post.

Damn Hols got here first! Glad you arrived safe and all. I'm going to be a bit mumsy now and say for God's sake look after yourself! I know you will, being an intelligent girl and all, but the news is bloody scary and I want you back in one piece.
