My time in Thailand

Finally arrived in Bangkok after a very long day and night travelling. Despite the fact it was grey and raining slightly, felt like walking into a hot oven.
Thank God for air conditioning! Very helpful, happy and smiley people here.
Had a look around the Grand Palace, was ok. Loving the food here! Had a coconut, which was interesting.. Not how I thought it would be though.
Looking forward to getting out of the city and heading North (or South!)

3 Hours until our 12 hour bus journey to Chiang Mai! I'm hoping I get a window seat..
Had an 'authentic Thai massage' last night. Not quite the relaxing massage I had in mind. Me being the only one of us that had the male masseur (if that's the right word..?). He gave me quite a beating. Cracking and stretching me in as many painful ways as he could. All good fun though! Might just go for the foot massage next time.
My sleeping pattern is all over the place. Find myself sleeping for a few hours then waking up at 2am unable to sleep again for about an hour. Then sleeping for 8 or 9 hours.
I'm in great company and loving every minute of it here!

  2. I've not actually had any green curry yet! I had a random, dirty one off some street vendor. Not sure what was in it really but it was hot as hell! The 'chicken' was pretty much grissle and bone and I couldn't actually finish it. By 'couldn't' I mean 'wouldn't'. Not worth the drama when I was to next visit the toilet! =P
    I'm not expecting anything better than yours Nat! You'll always be the 'Green Curry Master' in my eyes! xxx
