Three Nights in Bangkok!
Bangkok - December 10th-13th
As I walked out of Bangkok International, the first thought that struck me was "Damn, Bangkok is farking HOT!! What was I thinking when I packed my socks and jammies when it is clearly apparent that I will be wearing nothing at all for the next 3 weeks??"
I Heart Shanti Lodge. How I will miss my morning feast of Paradise Porridge and Mangoes. This place was fabulous for only 300 Baht a night! I didn`t even mind the cold outdoor shower - in 34 degree heat, I actually looked forward to battling a gecko for a place in the stall. I had THE BEST Thai Massage from this 155 cm, 70 year-old lady - the only English she spoke was "Hello." Needless to say, we had some good talks over some Red Bull and Vodka afterwards.
I was the quintessential tourist - River Taxis, Shady Mo-Fo Tuk-Tuks, The Grand Palace and Wat Karew, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, The Floating Market, The Amulet Market, Chatuchak I could spend all my money here Market, Siam Square, and the notorious Khao San Road. I`m so glad I didn`t stay on this particular tourist infested road, although it did deserve a walk through on the way to dinner with the finest Australian I have yet to meet. YUM!

I also took a meditation course at Wat Mehatat and yoga classes at Yoga Elements - if I only had a few more days, I would have taken the Thai Massage Course offered by Wat Pho
Highlights: 1) Mai Kaidee`s Vegetarian Deliciousness, 2) Sweaty Yoga Classes, and 3)Anywhere easily accessed by the River Taxis - see you in hell Tuk-Tuks!!
