Cloudy's Asian Tour: Back in Bangkok

We've left Koh Phi hi and are now in Bangkok. We took a ferry, two buses and the overnight train to get here this morning. The train was really funny. We each had our own seat which changed into a sleeping berth. But they came round and changed all the seats at about 7pm! Way too early! So we went to the restaurant car for dinner and found that it had been decorated with tinsel and lights for teh new year. Our waitress was really funny and she put on some songs and gave us a microphone to sing Karaoke after we'd eaten.

We left a couple of hours later and went to bed. I slept really well on the train, but I woke to find that I'd been bitten loads of times by the mosquitos :-(. About half and hour before bangkok, the guard came round to wake us up and change teh beds back to seats. He thenm collected all the sheets and piled them up on my seat!! So I had no seat and had to sit on a box next to Nick!

When we got to Bangkok we took a tuk-tuk to our hotel, checked in and had a shower. Today Nick and I have been seeing some of the sights. We went to the National Museum and learnt about the history of Thailand. Then we went to Wat Poh to see the Reclining Budda Statue. After we wandered around Chinatown before coming back to our hotel to have food nearby.

Tonight we'll take it easy and go to teh cinema. Tomorrow we'll have a big New Years party somewhere before we go to Cambodia!
