(continued from...Going to Bangkok)
We've been here in capital of Thailand for a few days now, and we can all agree that it's time to move on. When we arrived here...we had the crazy cabbie drive us to Khao san road. This street...is where allot of backpackers go to meet other backpackers, buy nice..brand name and other types of clothes and trinkits....and get extremely hammered til 9am. Well...I can only tolerate so much of trying to figure out whether the girls are guys...i've never seen so many thai transvestites in my life! and for three days of straight drinking...It gets harder...and harder to tell.
Here in Bangkok, the best way to get around the city is by Tuk-Tuk...a non-metered taxi... motorized rickshaw that seats up to 4 passangers.....sooo fun, but a price has to be settled with the driver before departure...if you're not careful they will rip you off, (as with anything else in this city)...and the cost is usually around 200 baht.
So far...we've met some very interesting ppl here...Good times. when we come back this way to fly home...I'll have to do a little bit more exploring...so much to see...sooo little time!
But enough with the pisstankedness...now we are going to explore some of the real Thailand, without allot of the westernized parts of it. Next destination...the BEACH! Patchuap Khiri Khan to be exact...wich is a small town located along the East coast..and after that...we will jump from town to town along there. We have all decided to avoid the parts that where affected by the earth quake...because from what we've heard...and the huge risks involved in being in those parts...It's just too much. The brave ppl that are helping and volunteering out there are the true celeberties. I raise a tall glass to all of them!!
