We met Amie at Khao San Rd which is a busy touristy area with lots of shops and bars and she had a guesthouse booked for us. We looked around Khao San, rested, ate and had great Thai massages. A planned quite night turned into a big one when we saw people we had met earlier, we joined them drinking in a street bar and ordered buckets (whisky/ coke/ redbull). Turned out to be fun night.
Yesterday we scammed our way into a hotel roof-top pool which was great cos of heat, later we got a tuk-tuk to some night markets. The tuk-tuk driver was a maniac, he sped through the traffic and we thought we were going to tip, but it was fun. Today we went to Chatuchat which are weekend markets that are HUGE, over 8000 stalls, we stayed for ages. It was extremly humid and very crowded but we managed some barter some nice things and absolutly exhausted ourselves shopping!
I cannot believe how cheap it is here, nice and healthy meals for practically nothing and although the streets are chaotic and people constantly hassle you to buy things it is also very laid back lifestyle. The fruit stalls are the best, tropical fruits and shakes, yum yum.
Tomorrow Emma and I are getting an overnight bus to Chiang Mai in the North so we can do some trekking!! They have guides take small groups through the mountains and live basic. They usually pass through remote villages and have elephant riding and bamboo rafting, so we are so so excited about it!!
Ok, we are off to end the day with cheap Thai food and oil massages, hehe, xoxox
