Well we have arrived safely in Bangkok after a very tiring couple of days! We were exhusted!

All we can say is Bangkok is absolutly mental! It is the craziest city we have ever been to, full of crazy Thai tuk-tuk drivers (these mental little taxis on 3 wheels) who try to take you everywhere and are constantly coming up to you asking 'where you want to go' ... 'Nowhere we are just walking down the frigging road!' Grrrr (as you can tell we have has a few experiences here!)

Mike would describe Bangkok as Blade Runner on steroids- hence the title. I wouldn't know I haven't seen Blade Runner. We have seen some nice things tho like the Grand Palace and the shopping centre :) It is very hot aswell which is good as hopefully we are tanning (although mike is burnt hehe) honestly we feel so pale!! 

We are adding some pictures of our time in Bangkok, we are moving on this afternoon to Kanchanaburi (bridge over the river kwai) to get away from the city and to spend a couple of days at an elephant park(!) and see the bridge etc from the war as thats what Kanchanaburi is famous for, and head into some calmness hopefully!
