Khao san road

OK, so i have never written a blog before and i now realise i should be more brief or else i will spend more time writing about what i have done than actually doing what i have done.

SO!!!!

Day two in Bangkok we hit the Khao san road, this is the travellers stretch of Bangkok it is

• 70% western travellers
• 10% indian tailors
• 20% Tuk tuk drivers trying to rip off new arrivals

I fitted in to the western traveller bracket. and being a western traveller i bought a copy of Alex Garland's 'The Beach' so i can literate my thoughts of Bangkok. "Khao san road is like a decompression chamber for those about to leave to enter Thailand, a halfway house between the east and west".

Wasnt really my cup of chai, bit to busy and manly revolved around drinking, buying funky t-shirts and drinking. There are some weird and wonderful sights to be seen, my favourite is the fish massage. Bassically its a paddling pool full of hungry baby fish, you put your feet in and all the little fish nibble at your toes. Its tickles and its pretty cute if you dont put the reality of starving fish biteing at your dirty feet in to the image.
