After a really comfy overnight train ride from Nong Khai Thailand (across the river from Vientiane) I arrived back in Bangkok. The lower two seats make up into a bed with a curtain and a foam mattress. Really comfy.
Dropped off my bags and it was time to hit Chinatown for some serious shopping.
There is a Swensen's in the mall at the end of my route. What else was a hot shopper to do?
Koi in a pond at one of the hotels on Khao San Road.
After one night in Bangkok I stored my bags and headed up river to Kanchanaburi. I took a taxi to the Southern Bus Terminal in Bangkok to catch the bus. Very easy and organized. There was even a hostess on the bus who served us cold water.
Flowers in the hotel yard.
I checked in a looked around for a place to eat lunch. Most of the bars and restaurants on my strip only seemed to open later in the evening. I finally found a place called the Jolly Frog ..a big backpacker hotel..open at all hours and had some fried rice served in a pineapple.
It was quite good and only 50 baht. A real bargain these days.
Hmmmm....I wonder what that's all about?
My fancy room. The bed, fridge and tv were on a platform which made getting on a bit interesting.
My bathroom had one section with the toilet and sink and that opened out to a huge shower which included this garden!
