Sawat Dee Krap from Bangkok

I had a lovely night with Kylie in Singapore last night and this morning - albeit brief and then i flew to Bangkok this afternoon. I am staying at a cool little hostel - not what i imagined a hostel would be like at all. See attached if you can be bothered! http://www.lubd.com

I am in a 6 girl dorm and there was one girl in there already, Carine from the Netherlands. It coincidently is the first day of her trip too an d we are both heading to Siem Reap in Cambodia tomorrow.

Bangkok is chaotic and v.hot but just like any other Asian big city. I can't believe i have never been here. I am only here for one night as I join my group trip to Cambodia tomorrow night - 3 countries in 4 days is a little hectic but it will slow down after that!

I already feel like i have learnt so much - the first being that things are never as bad as you think they are going to be, banana's are going to become my staple diet, allow double the time you think things will take and DON'T overpack!

I have also been thinking about travelling on your own, it's a bit like going to a party on your own - you dread it - but as soon as you get there it's cool.
