Well I finally make it to Bangkok! Its a 13hr bus journey from Phuket, I thought it was going to be hell but got myself a VIP bus unknowingly. What can say, first class service all the way, seats the width of a bed, TV & DVD player...plus a few light snacks & a stop off for a meal all provided for about £17! The bus arrives in Bangkok about 7am in the morning and I grab a taxi to the hostel, Soi 1 Guesthouse in Sukhumvit. I drop my bags into the dorm and then try and grab some breakfast. As I am getting breakfast I meet a Scottish guy who asks me where I am from and I say Co. Mayo, Ireland...a minute later he has his ipod connected up to the hostels music system and starts play "The Green & Red of Mayo"!!! Comical stuff.
Jane arrives into Bangkok later that evening...the airport is finally open...if they could have only done that a few days earlier! ;-) We spend 2-days in Bangkok doing must of the tourist sights. For all the bad press you hear about it, its actually quite a cool place. Far more developed than I thought it would be...its got a fine mix between the Good the Bad & the Ugly!
