Got the Skyrail to the river and took a river boat upto Khao San Road to have a butchers. Its mental round there, with stalls and markets and bars and hostels. Its like a place set up to sell stuff to backpackers before they set off on their travels.
You can buy anything you want round here - even get yourself a fake press pass!!!!!! why would you want one?
Thought about moving to a hostel closer to K S R but they're more expensive so we'll try and get another few nights in the one we're in as this is our last night in our hostel.
Went and saw the Golden Mount, which is pretty cool. From the top you can see the whole of Bangkok. People were burning incense and praying to the Buddas. They were also repainting the mount with Gold paint. Weird - I assumed it was made of real Gold!!
Got on a random longtail boat on a canal to a shopping mall -looking for a mossy net for when we get to the islands. - Didnt find one!!
Got Skytrain back to the hostel and sat downstairs with the rest of the backpackers and planned our next 3 weeks in Thailand!
Plan:
-Koh Samet for few days by boat and ferry
-Back to Bangkok
-Overnight train to Surat Thani
-Ferry to Koh Samui for a week or so
-See what happens
Tried to book another 2 nights in the hostel -HI SUKUMVIT- but they were fully booked, but we've got a mixed dorm to stay in.
