    Back to Bangkok

    April 18, 2017 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    We arrived back at Bangkok early this morning off the night train and thankfully were able to check in to our rooms at the Wild Orchid right away. We went to Ricky's for breakfast and I had spaghetti haha. Afterwards I did some research on things to do in Sydney, called mom, and spoke to Alanna for a while. Then I repacked my bags and somehow managed to get everything into my backpack plus a carryon! I don't even know how that's physically possible considering that I had a full backpack and carryon plus the bag I had left behind at the Wild Orchid before leaving for Chiang Mai... My Tetris skills are improving I suppose :p from there I went out to the market one last time to pick up a few last minute items before heading to the pool to relax! A big part of the group was also there so we shared a few drinks just enjoying our last day together. We went for dinner at some strange place called Hippie Bar where I had a "set" meal that consisted of a soup, fried "chicken", and spicy rice. Apparently it was a Thai meal but nothing I've ever seen before. Tasty, but strange... The fried chicken tasted more like pork and was little strips of deep fried meat. The soup was a clear soup with small noodles that was quite tasty actually and the rice was far too spicy for my tastes, oops. After dinner we went out to Khao San Road for one last hurrah! I wasn't feeling well so I took it easy and went home fairly early, before midnight I believe. Stomach is feeling better but still not 100% at this point!Read more
