Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen..we arrived in Bangkok! Yesterday morning we arrived at 7.40 am local time in bangkok after a bumpy ride with the airbus 777-300ER from Dubai. We couldn't sleep during the flight so we were pretty tired upon arrival. Got the first train to the city centre, which took about half an hour. After we got out at the last stop, Raimon's stomach started hurting, it obvouisly doesnt like irregular sleeping and eating. In 26 degrees I really needed to eat or drink something or i would die (that's at least how it felt).
When I was getting a bottle of water, one guy started to ask dilek some questions. He was suggesting to take a tuk tuk and basically pay him first. After he found out that we are not stupid, he left without a word when dilek was still talking to him..pretty weird. This would happen a couple of times again, people seem to want to really help you, but in the meantime just want to take disadvantage. Luckily we met this girl who would meet her friend and coincidencely had to go into the same direction as us. Her friend picked her up and the offered to drive us to Khaosan road. We took the chance and ended up in this very busy area.
After we got out of the car, we unfortunately couldnt find the hotel quickly in a burning sun. After half an hour we found Korbua house and they welcomed us with a refreshing drink away from the busy street. Immediately we spotted a huge lizard just on the canal where the hotel is located. We got into our amazing room and after a short sleep we went out for some exploration.
We walked down Khaosan road, had some fish cleaning my feet and had a chilled time in a bar nearby. I really enjoyed a large Singha (630ml) for 120 baht.
It's really like we read about bangkok before: at first we got a bit overwhelmed by the hustle, heat and people who seem to want the best for you, but waking up the day after we are so much enjoying this city!!
