We're in Thailand

Hey everyoneWe're here in Bangkok in this area called Banglamphu. It's really busy with street vendors selling very tasty food and we're staying at a really nice guesthouse. Tomorrow we're going to move onto a different guesthouse an hour away where all the backpackers tend to stay. We went there this afternoon to explore more of the city and it's pretty crazy. The food is just delicious, we've been eating at markets and little street vendors. We took a tuk tuk ride back to where we're staying which was quite thrilling, weaving in and out of traffic on a vehicle with no door. I feared for my life at several points. Good times.

We have this room at the top floor of the guesthouse which has air conditioning and boy is it necessary. It's so hot here. We talked to a couple of other travellers and did some reading and we think we might head over to Ko Samet, which is this little island with amazing beaches where we will probably spend a few days hanging out before we contemplate our next move. It's stange being in a place where English isn't really understood by the locals. We're getting by, lots of pointing mainly.

We got some cheap clothes and I got my head shaved in an attempt to deal with the sudden change in temperature. It's busy but it has a pretty friendly vibe to it.It's taking a while for our minds to unwind and realise that we don't have a job to go to or a tube to catch at any point. It's really, really relaxing being here. There's a lot to learn and it's really exciting. I just learned how to haggle after some practice and got some very cheap memory cards, so photos will soon follow.
