One night in Bangkok...

Soooo we arrived in Bangkok after getting our 6 hour day bus which actually turned out to be about 10! We heard this happens alot and since being in south east asia for so long we can pretty much expect this to happen every time. We dived out of the mini bus thanked the bus driver for sharing his fried bananas, grabbed our bags and strated searching for somewhere to stay. After walking round for twenty minutes completely lost we come across Khoasan road where an Indian guy told us of some cheap rooms and low and behold he was right! We decided we really need to start listening to the locals abit more often! Threw our bags in the room and found the nearest Pad Thai street food specialist. After waiting two months for some of their specialty we thoroughly enjoyed it! So we went on our way to find a way of getting to the South bus station in Thailand. After arguing with many Tuk-tuk drivers about a fair price we decided to just get the bus! Easy! We paid 8 baht each instead of the tuk-tuks recomended 150 each, each way! The bus station was a fairly new one were gem got two pairs of denim shorts she'd been wanting for the tasty price of 2 quid! I got meself some socks (boring) for a quid and we got out bus ticket to Surat Thani which is in the Southern Gulf of Thailand and is were you get another bus then a boat then a tuk tuk to Koh Phangan....We headed back to Bangkok pleased to not be getting ripped off by anyone and going it alone. Then we ended up getting the wrong bus ending up in the middle of nowhere were nobody could talk english and got another bus back to Bangkok from there! (It was for the story) We decided to go straight out on the ale and stay out to 4 drinking buckets of Samsung? (sangsom??) local whiskey and dancing in a thai locals night clubs with a couple from Russia who were constantly scrapping. Fell back the room and slept til the cockerels hooted.
