ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK

Along with Jori, we hired a taxi to take us to the Thai border, then took a minibus to Bangkok. The journey from Siem Reap to the border was a white-knuckle, bone-rattling ride along an unfinished and very muddy road. The view, though blurry & mud-spattered, was of flooded countryside and locals fishing, farming, swimming & washing, so plenty of interesting sights to take our minds off the cabby's 'unique' driving style!

Once in the madness of Bangkok, we were dropped off near Khao San Road (backpacker central) and checked into Thai Cozy Guesthouse, round the back of Khao San. After dumping our stuff, we headed straight out for some spring rolls, pad thai & green curry and after a good feed we thought we'd try our first 'buckets' in a bar further down the road. They definitely did the trick, although since then we've realised it's wise to stick to one particular cocktail...
