Next stop THAILAND.... (for 1 day!)

Yeah - sounds kind of crazy i know but i literally flew into Bangkok in the late hours of March the 28th and was straight out again by the 30th...! It was too much! After the chilled outness of Nepal and the waaah of India, Bangkok was just the biggest shock to the system, and something i just wasn't ready for! Even the flight in itself was enough to make me 'freak' - we were flying in to all the lights and flashing neon advertisments, huge grand highways and much more, all staring up at me... Yikes! I was just sat there thinking 'where the hell am i arriving into!??' Thankfully i wasn't the only one thinking this - i met a lovely German lady who was going through exactly the same as me, having also just spent the last few months travelling around India and Nepal. We were both stood in the airport in a complete and utter daze without a clue of what to do, where to go, or anything. Then i made the big mistake of checking into a hotel on Khao San Road - backpacker/prostitute/'Ibiza uncovered' hang-out! Omigod! Anyway, i just about survived the one day i had there before i got the bus over the border and into Cambodia where Cindy and i were reunited.... (canadian i travelled with for 6 weeks in India).
