round the world at last

got on a bus from phuket town to bangkok, took about thirteen hours , but the seats fully reclined, a/c and movies all for 550 baht so well worth it, dropped us all off right at the Ko Sahn Road, which is the mecca for travellers in the city. Staying at a lovely little place from the lonely planet book called the dd inn, worth 750 baht a night as the rooms are all a/c, spotlessly clean, free swimming pool on the roof and includes a stuff your face buffet breakfast!!! Bangkok i was told, was really mad and hectic!! maybe its not to me after New Delhi, for as i sat in a tuk tuk yesterday i could have easily just nodded off for a while!!! There seems to be a whole generation of backpackers that dont seem to leave this road and thats a pity as theres so much to see in the city, went to the muay thai kickboxing, wat poh(a huge 45 metre golden buddha) and gonna catch a boat uptown today!! Still resisting the urge for dreads etc..makes me laugh whenever i see people "turning native"!!
would you do yhat at home. maybe/maybe not!!oh well everyone to theyre own , although i do sometimes feel like suggesting soap to them...oh and by the way if anyone is over here, then please to remember that when off the beach wear a top or shirt as the thai people take offense, they would never say as they are far too polite, but try to have a little respect for theyre ways!!!cheers from grumpy old man..lol
