My first flight on my own wasn’t all that bad, I did talk to a guy who loved Thailand and as a result had been going one or twice a year for the last 11 years.

Landing in the international airport is easy enough except for the 20 minutes walk to collect your baggage.

Bangkok is hot and hymid and it’s true about the taxi touts at the airport but people at home at warned me about this so I knew what to do. In the end I found a bus stand that would take me to Khao San Road for 150 Baht which was a good price I thought.

Bangkok seems very well travelled so much so that I’m sure that I saw more tourists than I saw locals, it was also the first time that I encountered the ‘tourist touts’, Having travelled in Europe before this was new to me and took some time to get used to.

As I wait for Chris to arrive I went around the tried to explore Khao San area took a few photos and when Chris did turn up went out for some dinner to find out what he has been up to and where he is off to next.

The next day was more sightseeing with a trip downtown to see if I could change my ticket to stay in Thailand longer, but it didn’t work out in the end. More beers and dinner with some friends of Chris who he knew from the south islands.

All in all I quite liked Bangkok even if it was a bit too much sometimes.
Next stop India.
