Hi everybody from Thailand,
We safely arrived early this morning in Bangkok and, so far, the city is very different to Kathmandu and Nepal. For a start there are nice cars, nice buildings and electricity seems to be fairly reliable which is weird for us. Also, this evening we saw beer-swilling brits drinking by the bucket load (literally) and lots of other normal holiday-makers. This is definitely a marked contrast to the crazy hippy travellers who pass through Nepal, although I'm sure we'll find them again somewhere in Thailand. Anyway although different it is a thrilling experience and we can see why people love to soak up the melting-pot that is this city.
We really miss Nepal, the family, the guys from VIN and all the friends we made so we have decided to console ourselves by fleeing from the excitement of the city in search of a quiet beach retreat in Southern Thailand to get some much needed chill-out time with swimming and sunshine (and cocktails I'm sure). We'll be back in Bangkok a fair bit over the next few months so we can absorb this intriguing city another time (although we have all day for sight-seeing tomorrow). Tomorrow evening I think we'll be getting a 12 hour bus to Krabi where we can get a boat to the exotic Islands (Just like in "The Beach" - Leo Di Caprio).
We'll take lots of pictures and upload them to the Flickr page when we get there but in the meantime we're happy, excited and looking forward to getting-to-know another crazy country far from home.
Lots of love
Laurence and Rozzi
