Bangkok

Have arrived in Thailand, currently in Bangkok, in the Khao Sarn area, which is where everyone goes. It's a little bit unreal, a little bit 18-30 and basically very touristy. I generally prefer smaller places as funnily enough it's easier to meet people, but here is a lot of fun and it's good to have a drink again. Thailand is more expensive than India, but I hope that is more Bangkok than southeast Asia as a whole. I think table tennis must be the national sport because I keep getting asked to go watch ping pong shows.
Plan is to stay here a few days, hopefully meet up with a friend from Edinburgh who should be here soon, then try and get a day or two in Damnoen Saduak, before heading north to Chaing Mai. I'll then travel back down the country gradually in time for the full moon beach party on October 14 before heading to Cambodia and Vietnam.
