... talla kertaa ei). Liikenne on tietysti myos mita on (8 kilometrin matkaan meni eraana iltana 45 minuuttia taxilla. hinta 2 Euroa) mutta useimpia muita Aasian maita rauhallisempaa.

Khao Sanilla chillailun lisaksi taalla on nyt harrastettu Siamilla (Paa kauppakeskus) pyorimista seka katuravintoloissa istuskelua. Rambuttinilla kavin myymassa ylimaaraiset kirjat pois jotta rinkka kevenisi. Kinokunyasta taas tekisi mieli ...

... fantastic and smelt amazing! Audrey and I bought a batch of stargazer lilies, daisies, baby's breath, and some bamboo leaves for under $15. RIDICULOUS! I filled both my vases, a milk bottle, and a tequila bottle with flowers around the house and still didn't use all the bamboo leaves! The house smells awesome now and is even more beautiful for Hal and George when they get here on Tuesday afternoon! Woo hoo...

... but merely part of their heritage. Western culture, especially in England is erroding and the sense of unity and togetherness and identity which is evident in Thailand and other parts of Asia is something western society should make note of.

We reached the top of the golden mount and were treated to nice views of Bangkok city at night (reminding me of the panoramic views of the city of Xian from the drum tower). Eventually we made our way back to Khao San ...

... around them the jungle masses at the border, waiting for the guard to drop to re-take its domain. Angkor is a demonstration of what happens to a city when that guard eventually does fail.




Another quick layover in Bangkok ensued. Having ticked all the boxes already we bummed around the shopping malls some more, took lunch in a 76th floor restaurant in the Baiyoke tower ...

... une concentration impressionnante de bars ou l'on n'entend parler que anglais et où il est impossible de s'asseoir sans se faire harceler par des prostituées. Heureusement il existe encore de nombreux quartiers traditionnels et la ville regorge de superbes temples bouddhistes, de palais, de quartier anciens animés et de marchés où la nourriture est excellente.

La nourriture, justement, est l'un des meilleurs aspects de la Thaïlande. Souvent épicée, toujours d ...

... good reason Lauren has never allowed me to see this area of town. But it was about 3pm and the “businesses” on Patpong really don’t get started until around 8pm, so we knew that it would be relatively low-key. When walking down this road, it was hard to imagine that a place like this exists in Bangkok. It is really quite tucked away from all of the main roads and one could easily reside in Bangkok for years and never come in contact with any of these areas or “ ...

... After a 3 hour bus ride and an hour ferry, I reached Mun Nork
Island. The island looked tiny, about 300 meters wide (it’s probably more). When
we were getting on the island we noticed there was little open air beach huts
along the beach. They looked very well built and had a lot of other things like
hammocks and swings.

... I know it still exists, we glimpsed it while we were in the north near the Myanmar border, but next time, with more time, we would like to lose ourselves and avoid the beaten track that is so well trodden.

I treated myself to breakfast at the restaurant right next door to the hotel. I had a Cheese omellete with bacon. (Note: when they ask if you want toast say no because they charge you extra) So I said yes to the toast question so I paid 60 baht for the Omellette, 30 baht for the toast, and 15 baht for water. So the total came to around ($3.95) which is still decent. I spent the rest of my ...
