... s throat started to feel sore as the day wore on so we headed straight home after one drink (nothing to do with the £5 for a bottle of beer price tag of course).

Our final day and S now full of a cold so taking it easy in front of the TV back at the hotel. The Royal Palace will have to wait for another day. Happy that we managed to use Skype for the first time today to book our next accommodation in Ayuthaya.

... We then thought whilst in Bangkok that we should head to the red light district to see what this town is famous for.
You will have to ask me personally for the full details - as I have to keep this blog PG!
But there is a funny story to be told about this experience!
Next day we had a trip to the Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
Our tour guide was a wealth of information - but as it was stinking hot and we all had to wear long ...

On our first trip to Bangkok we hadn't managed to get round to seeing Khao San Road. It's basically a street full of street stalls, western fast food joints and a whole host of random stuff and bars.

We first took a longtail boat (tourist trap I know, but it had to be done!) around the canals surrounding the Chao Praya River and it was an enlightening experience. The homes by the side ...

It didn't take me long to figure out what was happening, because right next to me was a motorcade of about six shiny white mercedes, a full marching band, and about 30 soldiers, dressed in white uniforms, all saluting a woman. This was the frickin' queen! Everyone was staring or saluting. She was standing and talking to an impeccable man, who I'm sure must have been the owner of MBK or something. Every time she moved, a little man holding an umbrella to block ...

What can I say, I found the KSR to be totally amazing, there was a real buzz about the place. So much is happening, I noticed that there was people from all over the world, there was no one Nationality dominant, It seems that the KSR is a Mecca for all backpackers. The girl that I intended to meet was not in, so I decided to stay in the area. There was many people selling a wide array of things, so I did a bit of shopping. A lot of bargain's ...

... and sumptuous menu.

I wasn't always sold on Thailand. It was one of the last countries in Asia I had considered going to, partly because of what I'd heard of the place, the debauchery, the depravity of it all. Clearly I was mistaken, for I found a place in that chaos to call my own, to dig myself in and find a middle ground between safety and madness.
