A very pleasant flight from Beijing to Bangkok and pleased (obviously!) to be back in Thailand for the next few weeks.  A quick spin from the airport to Khao San Road, but this time we are keeping our stay a little more subdued. 

We were a little shocked at the current exchange rate, previously 62 baht to the pound, now only 54 – what’s the story Gordon?

Just a few things to sort out before we head south:

1. Book the bus.

2. Hair cut.

3. Dental hygenist (cheap at £10).

4. Replenish first-aid kit.

5. Replenish sun and bite creams.

6. Replenish women’s bits.

7. Laundry.

8. Purchase an iPhone

We like lists, maybe we should consider writing all our posts in this manner. Most likely you won’t hear from us for a few days until we sus out internet availability etc.

Bye for now, off to top up our faded tans .

10 things we did during our 15 days:

1. Sang along on the karoke bus.

2. Amused the locals with our woolly hats. 

3. Avoided food poisoning, amazingly!

4. Hiked the 4^th New Wonder of the World.

5. Played and won at Texas Hold’em [best poker face ever].

6. Drank far too much Tsingtao Beer – pure piss, but cheap.

7. Spent far too much money with nothing to show for it [apart from damaged livers].

8. Learned absolutely no Mandarin other than ‘Ni Hao’.

9. Smoked 20 cigs a day by choice, and 90 with without [pollution].

10. Watched a whole series of House [Hugh Laurie].
