Khao San and China Town - Bangkok, Thailand

We travelled 9 hours from Koh Tao to Bangkok (seems like an age ago now, thats what you get for waiting a month before updating the blog...) and stayed near the travelers apex to SEAsia - Khao San Road. Awesome food stuffs in Chinatown. Bangkok is broken up into an eccelctic set of areas, vastly differing in ethnicities, wealth and function.

This is where so many tourists begin and end their journeys so its understandable it is a shoppers paradise, not so good for us, actually trying to jetison cargo, not accumulate it. It's a primo atmosphere though, just to wander aimlessly and soak it up
Incense to burn in your room for when you want your parents to think you have been smoking when you actually havn't! Jokes on them, haha.
Pad Thais for a dollar or less, the Thai equivilant of a pie after drinking whiskey buckets in one of Khao San's prolific bars.

Cheap and fresh seafood

Amazing Cat Drawing Woman - who could refuse one of these works, at bargain prices might I add. I hope my one survives the rest of the trip.
