First hours in Thailand

Bangkok

11.02.2010 31 °C

Hey everyone!
Its 22.16pm here in bangkok and its so so hot and sticky but it is such a huge city so its expected!
I think it might be slight jet lag... flights were fine fell asleep for some of them watched movies it was amazing. hannah montana.. roch be proud and the proposal.. I missed the ends though because I fell asleep through both! On the first flight from Manchester to Dubai there was a lovely guy sitting next to us who drove the oil riggers in Oman.. random! he was sooo tanned and he said it was only a winter tan, I was shocked! There was another guy opn my left who took his shoes off half way through the flight and his feet STANK!!! Eurgh I was holding my nose and saying whos feet smell!.. He didn't get the hint!
On this computer its 60p for an hour! How good is that! Used first aid kit already ha.. cut my finger on an uncapped razor in my bag!
Hoping to get a sim card tomorrow and apparently its stupidly cheap to ring the UK which should be good!
Bangkok is overwhelming.. its so busy and full of life so abit scary. Hotel is great.. room nice abit small double bed bunk beds.. look comfy but rock hard lol. Might book this place for when we come back cause staff are so nice and its in a place with lots of europeans so more homely and feel abit safer. The taxi man was like you want to go shop in the taxi I was like NO... HOTEL PLEASE! NO SHOP! lol.. bit scary but was all fine.. he was nice.
We are hoping to go and see the grand palace tomorrow which Jayne and dave recommended.
I will update very soon on progress and where we are!
Lots of love, Caroline Xxx

Hi Carrie! Great to hear you arrived safely. I hope you are enjoying the sights, sounds and SMELLS of Bancock. HAve you seen any lady boys yet? Also, try and go on a trip to the floating markets - lovely specticle; fab colours and sights on the river. Wishing I was there - love the Far East. jayne xx

Fantasitc. I hope you enjoy it. Look out for the Lady Boys there! How was the Palace? I'm jealous of the train to Chang Mai - we flew so missed the sights and smells of the Northern Thailand country side. Enjoy. jayne xx
