Last night we headed for “Dosa King” where we had the following delicious vegetarian meal (just for you Liz, here is the description!)

After eating late, we went for a couple of beers with Dag, and headed to bed.

Unfortunately, I could not sleep (not adjusted to the time yet.) and stayed awake until 4am watching old episodes of The Twilight Zone while Jen snored!. I eventually slept, and we both woke at 2.30pm , much to our surprise!!!

We quickly got ourselves together and rushed onto the Sky Train to go to Chatuchak market.

To try and describe Chatuchak Market is going to be difficult, the place is not just big, its inconceivably big. Think of a peanut in the middle of the galaxy and that would be a good description of us standing in the market. There are 15,000 stalls each selling clothes, food, home furnishings.. generally anything you could ever need.

We spent quite a few hours walking past stall after stall in amazement and confusion. There is so much choice that you forget what you wanted in the first place.

We eventually grabbed 2 pairs of Crocs (plastic sandals… very comfy), some cotton trousers for Jen, cotton trousers for me, cotton shirt for me, and some bikini shorts for Jen. All in all we spent just over £10… !!!

Nearly dinnertime, so we hooked up with Dag for a goodbye drink and grabbed a quick bite to eat before going back to the hotel to pack for tomorrow.

We leave at 6am to head to the airport and arrive on Koh Tao sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Till then…

Woke early and whether it be from the aircon, Si seemed to have a sore throat but nothing too severe thankfully.   

Later on that morning we met up with Dag and headed down town to a massage place run by the blind/partially sighted.  We just had an hour session to get a taster but I think we might go back for a two hour session tomorrow as it was so good & ridiculously cheap 😀    ..Anyway, check Si out in his massage gear ;-D

On leaving the massage palour we took a leisurely stroll, taking in all the smells, sights  & chaos around whilst feeling on top of the world and then just by chance noticed rows of restuarants advertising  Shark Fin  …then on closer inspection their window displays were just fins in all shapes & sizes.  We all found this pretty disgusting and upsetting.

Now lets move onto shopping, Bangkok is brilliant!!  …you can buy everything and anything dirt cheap if you’ve got the time and energy to bargain the day away.   So far we’ve bought tshirts, a phone (as i couldnt unlock my prototype) & a couple Thai sim cards.  Si’s been for a haircut and we’ve drank quite a few Singha 🙂

Tonight we off for a good veggie meal, a few beers and perhaps some more shopping

The flight went well and we arrived in Bangkok in the middle of the rush hour..

We picked up our beautiful pink taxi and headed to the hotel, before slipping some flip flops on and zooming over to meet Dag (Jen’s friend from work)

After meeting Dag we went to a Dutch bar call Det 5. Dag had Penang Curry, Jen (as always) had Green Chicken Curry, and I had a Pad Thai. Very nice…. its good to taste some proper Thai food.

And to complete the night, we played a few rounds of Table Football with Dag… the winner was Simon!!!! YAY…. worst table I’ve ever played on though!
