TukTuk Bangkok

After 21 hours in the air, 10 hours on layovers, and 3 airports, I made it to Bangkok with my luggage all in one piece YAY! I met a couple of girls from the other tour leaving today as well, they were very sweet, and about 19...we decided to go on an adventure and get food and a walk, and we got into a tuktuk where he proceeded to take us to different places around Bangkok...no, nothing dangerous :)

But, i forgot what my trusty guide books told me. they tend to be happy to drive you for very cheap, as long as you go to different stores, where they get coupons for gas if they take you there...after our 3rd silk shop (with very pushy salesmen) we had had enough...We did get to see the Golden Mount which is a beautiful temple on top of the hill with the best views of Bangkok.

Met my group tonight and there are only 5 of us, and I am the second youngest believe it or not...I had fears of being very out of my league. All is well. We went to Koh San Road, the home of all of the tourists, and it was shopping MECCA which I love...am going back tomorrow. it is about 39 degrees here, and I feel VERY overdressed...tomorrow we bike around the back streets of Bangkok, then to a sleeper train to Chiang Mai...big week ahead.

Hope all is well with you xoxo
