Day 209, Bangkok, Thailand


City from the river


Last day and really the only thing to organise were train tickets for the end of January when I am back here, so that was my sole chore today. Difference in price from one agent to another was 300 baht, so a little shopping about but mission accomplished.
Apartment living Bangkok 

Took a boat down the river, went a long way, and then back again, great to sit and watch the city from the water. Got chatting to a lady behind me from Finland, whose aunty lived in New Zealand. Oh, where about? Uhm, up north, she was married to Arthur Lydiard. Just like that, so an interesting chat.
It was very hot today, it's meant to be a little cooler in Hanoi, so that will be welcome. Here it's a constant struggle to find somewhere shady, haha!
Khao San road 
Back for a swim, nothing exciting, out for dinner to Khao San road; it just keeps calling even though it's crowded( or maybe because of that). Live music, beer, some good tucker, all for about $7.00.
Lastly, I haven't talked about the Thai toilets yet! A lot of squat loos, which is fine, used to those by now, but the weird thing is here that you're not supposed to flush the used paper down the dunny, there is a basket in the bathroom for that purpose! Goodbye Thailand!
