Ive booked train south and after 4 days am leaving Bangkok. Its been a big culture shock but a good experience. Im getting the overnight train tomorrow night from Bangkok to Surat Thani in the south and then getting a ferry over to Ko Samui for a few days.

| Bangkok to Surat Thani |
In the last few days ive been exploring more of the city. I moved to a new hostel in a different area, although the hostel is better there is not as much to see and I think I pretty much did all the best stuff on day one. Since the last update i've been to a chinese market, Siam Square and to some of the shopping centres which was great as they all had air con.
I used the sky train today for the first time. It only operates over half of the city but is so much better than the tuk tuks and taxis which take ages to get anywhere.
Im looking forward to the change. I think Bangkoks a good place to experience but with it being so busy, hot and difficult to negotiate Im looking forward to something more laid back and seeing some beaches.
Glad that you are safe Joel and your enjoying the temples. Take Care Love Mum (via Katy)
ReplyDeleteThe Temples look fantastic!! Did The Talos Budda have a small circular screw on the back of its ankle, just in case it comes to life and a local hero needs to drain its blood?
