After a very rough nights sleep we eventually dragged ourselves out of bed around 10 and headed off in the direction of the JJ market. We used public buses today and this one was particularly nice with its air conditioning! NB it is sticky hot here all day long!
Anyway we had a great time at the markets you can buy anything from a bum shaped toilet roll holder to a labrador puppy. Sheila was non too keen on the cat section so we steered clear of that.. When we had sweat sufficient amounts of sweat we headed back to public bus stop. Got on the wrong bus and were literally thrown off in 3 lanes of traffic! The traffic here is crazy, my life has flashed before my eyes a couple of time already.
Anyway we eventually got on the right bus but it was a lower class bus no air cond but you could hang out the window if necessary! We did not avail of this opportunity because we were already finding the bus fumes hard to digest at that stage!
So far so good we are really enjoying our time here in Bangkok, its amazing that after a couple of days you can adjust son well. I thought I was going to ruin out of the place on our first day. And another thing Thai people are amazingly nice and helpful!
