Bangkok Revisited

We got a taxi from the airport to the hostel that we booked just off Kaoh San Road.  The hostel was above an Indian restaurant, and looked okay from the outside, but turned out to be the most horrible place
we've seen so far!

We had two private rooms with en suites, but there were no windows, there were holes in the walls and ceilings, everything looked generally dirty, the beds were rock hard and there were lots of crawly things! We had booked the rooms for 3 nights, but after one night we decided we definitely didn't want to stay any longer!

We headed to Kaoh San Road and found a much nicer place to stay, at a not much higher price. We found it on a nice street running parallel to Kaoh San Road, which we didn't even know existed the last time we
were in Bangkok.

One of the things that we didn't get a chance to do the first time round was visit the floating markets, so we booked a day trip and did this on our second day in Bangkok before checking into our new nice hotel.

On our second night back in Bangkok, we thought we'd head away from the main tourist street for a night out in Silom. The next day we nursed our hangovers with some retail therapy at the markets.

The next day was the beginning of our Roam Cambodia tour with G Adventures. The first night of the tour was a night the Bangkok Centre Hotel and we met the group that we'd be travelling with for the next
10 days.  After a briefing from our tour guide called "Bank" (a nickname we later found out was given to him by his mum as they had to go to the bank when he was born to pay for the birth!) we went to dinner.

There were 16 people on the tour, a mixture of Icelandic/German/Norwegian/British people who fortunately were all very nice! We all went for a meal together and then had an early night ahead of our 5.30am start in the morning for our 6 hour journey to Cambodia.
