A Bangkok Minute

Firstly....we hadn't made it out of the country before Ang-wa realised he had left his jacket behind. Secondly...We couldnt find out hostel once we made it to Bangkok. And thirdly Jim was fool enough to leave her pocket knife in her hand luggage and so was suspected of being a terroist (well I do look quite the arab after a 12 hour flight)

One Night in Bankok makes a hard man humble.
Oh the heat! like walking in warm soupy air. We took the airport bus after being told it was going to stop across the road from our hostel. Hurrah what conveniance until they kicked us out in the Ghetto of eastern Bangkok. Who knows why....maybe we just looked too damm excited. I blame Angus. Thats why i brought him. Anyway after watching the bus drive off into the night we looked around and it was apparant from the lady man ladys and lack of anything resembeling the given landmarks we found the only man in Thailand who looked EXACTLY like James Brown and politely enquired "do pardon me but where the f**k are we?"...into a taxi we were put and away.....
The hostel was small, smelled of bleach and was fantastic to finally find even if the journey had meant an impromtue tour of the city and an elephant sighting. Just shambaling across the street doing his bad ass elephant thing. Morning bought a streetside breakfast of deep fried dough and for the more culineray adventurous (Angus) mystery meat. Little did i know that very morning Angus had unwittingly brushed his teeth with what passes for water in Thailand.......fool.
