Bangkok

The plan today was to get up at about 6am and head to Thonburi Market for some breakfast then catch the 7:30am train to visit the River Kwai, but it ended up being more hassle then it was worth! The taxi driver we flagged down was adamant that it wasn't worth going there and we should go somewhere else (probably on commission!). Is and I just walked away in the end because they were determined to take us there, so instead we went to Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha). It was pretty impressive... 46m long and 15m high!

First few days in Bangkok

Well the 11 and a half hour flight wasn't the best I've had... I just couldn't get comfortable! But the food was tasty and usual good choice of films, I watched Despicable Me. Me and Isabella landed in Bangkok airport at about 4pm local time (9am UK time)

Looking tired on the plane
