A favourite Thai restaurant amount the Siam Journey hostel go-ers. Walls covered in egg cartons!

Climb to the top of Wat Saket; Golden mount alongside monks

Got off the boat and this little Thai man ran over to us and started to show us things on our map proclaiming “I show you for free, no money”. He explained that it was a Buddhist holiday today so all the temples were free and the tuk tuks and taxis were cheap. He put us in a tuk tuk set it all up, told them to charge us 10Bhat each (about 50 cents) and then disappeared faster than arrived. So for two hours Jerry (a 27 Taiwanese guy from New York who I meat whilst cleaning my teeth) and I were toured around in the terrifying Bangkok traffic and the many Buddhist temples for literally pennies.

Terribly far away from my comfort zone as I wandered the rubbish filled streets filled with the an aroma of sewer and sweat, stray animals wandering along side I have safely made my way to my hostel in Bangkok. Today has been the single hardest day of my life.

Here’s to my last day of winter, jeans, proper toilets, tap water, eggs on toast for breakfast, hot showers and Jay Henshaw for three months. See you on the other side.
