Charlotte and Kev's Big Trip

Tuesday, October 30, 2007

Hello.

We're back in Bangkok now although we're staying in a different district again. We're in Chinatown, which is even busier and more crowded than the other areas of Bangkok we've visited. We spent our first day back from Koh Samui wandering round the area, getting lost in mazes of markets and alleyways and knocking people out with our rucksack (not Kev's fault they're so small).

Anyway, we've been spending most of our time shopping, stocking up on things that might come in handy one day in the future. It makes financial sense since everything here is so cheap. Last night we visited the night markets at Silom and were invited to many ping-pong shows. Table-tennis is popular in that part of Bangkok, clearly.

Today we've popped back to the northern part of the old town to see some of the sights. We've just come back from the Big Bhudda which is 32 metres high. Big indeed. After this we're off to the Grand Palace, then back to the hotel and then out shopping again.

More shopping. Charlotte's in heaven. Even moreso since the clothes fit perfectly.

Koh Samui airport (honestly):

The Big Bhudda. No, not the lying Bhudda, the photo's just on it's side.

Ta ta.
