Bangkok

After a night on the sleeper train (which we were on time for this time!) with some interesting toilets we arrived in Bangkok for the third time!! We either had a choice of a squat toilet on a platform or a squat toilet which was literally just a hole in the train floor which you could see the train track if you looked down.

We spent a couple of nights on Kohsan Road drinking buckets and Ginge ate a scorpion!! That girl can stomach anythingggg!!! We also went for a foot, back, neck and shoulder massage on the street and everythiggggg clicked!!! Felt so good!!

We decided to go to the Grand Palace but you had to follow a dress code in order to be allowed in - long trousers and covered shoulders.. However a strappy top with a scarf round your shoulders doesn't count.. I got sent to borrow a rather attractive pink granny shirt! The palace was lush... so pretty!! Way nicer than buckingham palace, it was gold with mirrored bits all over! We also saw the temple of the Emerald Buddha and the Queens museum of textiles which had some amazing clothes in inc a jacket made out of beetle wings! It was so humid we were sweating BIG time! And after I'd returned the shirt they had run out so some poor person had to wear my sweaty shirt after me... Grim!

After the Palace we ended up going to the Siam centre and Ginge and I had all you can eat sushi (i don't think kate and bethan appreciated the raw fish as much as we did haha) an it was incredible! Then we ended up doing some shopping.. standard!

In the evening we went to the market and watched a ping pong show... It was weird. Don't think you can say much more about it ....

Lots of love Han xxxx
