First Full Day in Bangkok

Got a latte yen from street vendor with mini helper in morning. Walked to Hua Lamphong to purchase 6 tix for overnight train to Chiang Mai tomorrow. Lucky to get tickets - only 8 second class tickets left!! Walked through Chinatown to find breakfast. End up eating our first Michelin Star meal for breakfast ($6 AUD). Sat with two lovely girls who taught us how to count to 10 in Thai (so handy!). Walked to Hua Lamphong to take the subway to Chatuchak Markets..what a huge market! Planned to go to floating markets and a Muai Thai fight today but had to cut away this time. Caught train back to town, took tuk tuk to go to Khao San Road, found alleyway shortcut to parallel street where we had drinks for wifi to contact Claire, then had massaman chicken dinner at vendor on Khao San Road. Tuktuk back to Airbnb and waited for Colin, Gail, Claire and Alex’s arrival with Pupe. Sat with Pupe and her friends. Group arrived - M&Z and Pupe show them to guesthouse and say goodnight. Didn’t see Adeline and Luke tonight. Flight was delayed - They are arriving early morning tomorrow (4am).Read more
