bangkok!!

Hi everybody, this is our second day in Thailand.
Too hot in Bangkok. 95 degrees plus humidity. It seems that most people locals included don't do much till the afternoon when it's slightly cooler. Noisy, messy and smelly here but very cheap. Lots of students drinking vodka and red bull out of buckets!
We are booked on an overnight bus tomorrow heading south to Koi Samui. Looking forward to that. We have a beach bungalow booked. There is a ten day national thai holiday starting friday so everything is booking up quick.
thai taxi drivers are freaks, we literally got dumped on the road side in the blazing heat yesterday, as the taxi friver decided he didnt know where he was going!!!! they dont like putting the meter on either, trying to rip off us english tourists!!
stayed first night in a really basic but cheap hostel khao san road (main road for all backpackers) next day we found a nice hotel, not far from there, still mega chep, but with proper air con, we needed it in the heat!!! flight from hong kong was fine, via singapore which was a bit annoying, but singapore airlines were great, lovely food and drinks onboard and the cabin crew are all dressed in beautiful oriental dresses.
enjoying the cheap thai food, will be in touch when we reach the islands if we can get acces to the internet. just heading out now to china town and khao san road for the evening. vodka red bull here we come!
be in touch soon, si and soph X
