Being in Bangkok has certainly been a learning curve.
Thursday was our first full day which we spent dodging scam artists telling us the Temples were shut, which they weren't. This is one of the main scams we heard about so we knew not to believe them and eventually got to see the many Wats and Budda's that surround Bangkok. It is slightly annoying being asked time and time again 'You seen Black Budda? Where you from?' but it has been awesome, the sights and smells are incredible but three days is certainly enough.
Another mishap we had was getting pick pocketed! They are so slick, I was sat having a drink with Steph talking about how guarded I am and I need to just relax, how ironic is that! But it hasn't ruined our spirits! We've managed to get in everything we wanted to see including Siam square and China Town.
We have now decided to go to an Island called Koh Mak where Ollie is staying. We realised we needed to just stop and have a think about where we wanted to go and which route to take.
We've already met some really nice people and hopefully we'll bump into them on the way, they have also had a few scams thrown at them so it isn't just us. We'll be staying at the Koh Mak Retreat, check out the webpage it looks awesome! http://www.kohmakretreat.com/
Right the lady boy receptionist has ordered us some amazing Thai food! I'm off. Lots of Love Mike and Steph x
