Location: Bangkok - Thailand

Yesterday we arrived back in Bangkok from Cambodia. Usually we love this place but to be honest we’ve seen too much of it recently and therefore hope to only spend two or three more nights here before heading south, to Phuket.

From spending a few quid per night on accommodation in the amazingly cheap Cambodia - we booked ourselves into a hotel on the Kho San Road at a staggering £13 per night. Now that’s not that expensive, but to two Scotsman on a budget as tight as a fish’s bum, it’s pure madness. We could check out, but nah, we can just moan about it instead. Scots = like moaning.

We have a few things to do here including a visit to yet another temple, Yeehaa! Yesterday we visited the Grand Palace. Okay - it was cool(ish) but after Angkor Wat, every temple is going to be pretty poor in comparison. They also charge £7 to walk around the place so as you can imagine that just added to the days pleasures and detracted more from its alleged grandness.

All we can say is bring on the beaches again. We know we’re uncultured but we relish that fact and know we look good on a beach but look stupid trying to look interested in a building that has been painted gold. A few more days and we’ll be golden from lying on our backs with faces to the sun, let’s see if people pay to walk around us.
