It's hot, humid, dirty, and it stinks. We didn't do much in Bangkok, we're staying in the shopping district but nothing interests me here. Plus I don't have much room in my backpack. The mall is 6 stories and filled with knock off everything. From jeans to iPads. We went to khao San road, which is considered the backpackers ghetto. It's filled with bars, cheap shops and hostels. It was cool but being constantly harassed for cab rides and cheap suits drove us mad. We spent the rest of our time in Bangkok drinking, eating, and going to the English movie theatre. The food courts here are different than back home. You get a card and go up to each establishment and they scan your card depending on what you want then you pay at the end. They had everything from Thai to Greek, to American and Indian. The Chinese food was excellent, and pretty cheap.
We took at 14 hour train and a 4 hour bus to Phuket. The scenery is cool and reminds me of Vietnam movies. Phuket isn't as busy as Bangkok, it reminds me of Hawaii and Tijuana. We're spending three days at a resort (its the rainy season so nobodies here). The three of us are in the hostel section, do we get access to the resort facilities (a shit restaurant, expensive bar, and a nice pool).
Tonight we went to a Mexican place a British girl suggested. I had crocodile cakes (like crab cakes) and jamaican jerk chicken. It was delicious and the outdoor seating was awesome. Having two pitchers of sangria and two of margaritas was great as well.
A few more days here then we head to Patong, one of the nicest beaches here. It's also a major party spot. Hopefully we can meet some people.
