We couldn't resist one last visit ! We ended up visiting Bangkok 7 or 8 times, but didn't have much to report except we love it!!! Knowing this was our last chance, and to see Amanda and Kyle off, we did a final shopping spree and sent 20kgs of stuff home, as the weight of our bags was just getting ridiculous! The last few times we had opted to stay in  Khao San Road, a backpackers heaven which is mad and noisy in the night, a strip of craziness selling everything you can imagine at ridiculous prices! We even saw some poor guy attempting to preach to people and he had no chance whatsoever of recruiting anyone or even being heard over the racket!
We bumped into an old friend Ricky who buys English papers so we caught up on some news, we shopped till we dropped and in the end we moved back into the city as some thief was trying to steal our belongings in the middle of the night! But since January the hotel we stayed at had been demolished so we had to stay somewhere 'nice' (it had an elevator - to us, now, that's posh!) for a tenner a night!
We also couldn't go without a visit to a ping pong show - hands down one of the most funniest thing I've ever seen!! I wont go into detail but i will say that Darren narrowly missed being hit with a banana!
Following Tom and Charlie's recommendation we headed to an all you can eat roast dinner which made our lifes - 2nd roast dinner in 8 months! And the funny thing is i knew exactly where it was as I'd been there 9 years before, which was very strange. It was fabulous! We got ridiculously full i at 4 massive Yorkshire puddings, yum yum.
We also spent way too long trawling around MBK, browsing as i like to call it.
We have decided we could definately live in Bangkok, its great, we love it!!!
