One Night In Bangkok


 We arrived at the Airport at 7am in the morning and walked around like lost puppies trying to decide how to get to Khao San Rd. (we have to add Stephen and I are not very good in making final decisions, we definitely have to get better at it). We bit the bullet and ended up taking a cab. Note to yourself: try to haggle and don't just pay the 500 THB as requested. If you really want to go cheap you can get the local buses and you probably end up only paying about 50 THB, but you will have to get 3 different buses. On arrival at Khao San Rd. we decided to stay on the less crazy Rambuttri Rd. which is a lot more built up from the last time we were here but none the less a lot less bonkers then Khao San.
I've got to admit you will still get the odd Thai harassing you for a Tuk Tuk or to buy something but nothing like the circus that is Khao San.
We asked in the "New my guest house" for a room but after being shown a room that made me gag from the stink (I'm talking used nappy after Indian food stink) we went next door.
We stayed at a place called the Merry V Guest House, decided to go for a double room with fan which cost us 450 baht. I know we could have gotten a cheaper room somewhere but were too tired by that time.

Here is a 360 degree view of our room. Not much to look at but for 12 Euro a night, you can't go wrong.
