Then watched Dodgeball, I-robot, then half of I-robot again then slept then made the worst move ever - got up to stretch my legs and BAM Straight into the path of a Thai Steward - OOPS! Needless to say, spent the next Hr and 45 mins getting told i looked 'nice' but the continual playful punch to the stomach gave Steve plenty of ammo for a right ribbing! So anyway we arrived safely in Bangkok and made it through customs and past a particularly evil looking customs officer! Guess she knew she couldn't have me! ;o) Got to the hostel which is about 2-3 miles from the centre region of Bangkok. ...

Right before I went to get a massage, I met a mother and a daughter that live in Bangkok. ...

It took about 30 mins to get to the hotel and during that time the rep from the company we'd booked for the transfer filled us in with loads of information on Thailand and some tips for eating, shopping and getting around in Bangkok. ...

Here I am in Thailand. But Bangkok is huge and I really had no idea where I was so when I ran into the nice guy who had helped me find my hotel the day before, I took his suggestion to get a tuk tuk to take me around for a while. ... I told him that I was backpacking in Thailand and it was 85 degrees and I didn't think I needed a wool suit for that but possibly I would be back on my way back through Bangkok. ... He said that if I didn't buy it now, if I came back in three weeks, the price would be double.Here I am in Thailand.
