To Bangkok

Adam and I woke up at 4am after having gone to bed just after midnight to be up and ready to catch our 5am coach from the hotel to the airport. We got to the airport an hour later. We couldn’t really look around much as it was too early and the shops were still closed so we sat at the gate waiting for our flight to open.

We eventually boarded the plane and were on our way to Bangkok via Singapore. For some reason there was not a direct flight for the type of ticket we had bought so we had to stop inside Singapore airport for 2 hours before catching our flight to Bangkok. Fortunately we were able to leave some clothes that we did not think we would need for our trip in a locker at the airport so as to try and reduce our luggage weight.



On the flight to Bangkok i got a chance to watch Fool’s Gold and the time went so quickly the next thing i know we had arrived. As soon as we came out of the airport the 32c of heat just hit us. As well as that we were bombarded by people asking us where we were going, if we would like a taxi or a limousine to get us to our hotel. Adam and i tried to find the train but the building of the line had not yet completed so we took a moment to try and work out the price of things and so hid to one side just to get away from people. One person had quoted us 700 TB which is equivalent to approx £12 which you might think is a bargain however Adam and I managed to catch a coach which stopped at various places for only £5 for the both of us.

We got chatting to quite a few people, one group from Ireland and another from Wales who were also travelling around, we advised them of things to do when they got to Australia. 2 hours later ( at trip that should have taken an hour at the most but was delayed because of the heavy traffic) we arrived at our stop. We walked 5 minutes and got to our hotel absolutely dripping in sweat. Aircon is just a brilliant invention! We were so tired from the busy day of travelling we ordered room service had a bite to eat and fell asleep straight away.
