Closer to the Sun?

Arriving in Bangkok at midnight has to rank up there with the silliest things ive doine travel wise.... ever! was dead tired , confused and felt like someone had locked me in a sauna for a day.
A mad taxi drive through bangkok which made me feel like we were part of some sort of Tokyo Drift XBOX 360 game, no indicating no brakes just foot to the floor, quiter a thrill really!

The first hotel was flash, kinda it had a pool and lifts which i think will be the last of each that i see on my time in asia!
It cost about 1100 Baht a night with brekkie thrown in follow this link to work out the cost in NZ$ http://www.xe.com/ucc/

The new place ive moved to looks cool but is down markety! im in a cell, i kid you not (i will get a pic for you ltr) Im off now to buy a sleeping sheet and mossie net amd a big PADLOCK!!!

Its weird having to think about this stuff all the time but i guiess it is good for me to get into the right habits before i start going down south.

It is nearly New Year here and everyone is getting ready foir a big water celebrtation.
One of the weird things you see is that almose everyone is wearing tshirts or tpops that are yellow and say long live the king on thew back of them
the royal famil;y is really respected i guess, i know itts an offewnce to deface any image so .....
