More BANG for your buck!

well well well, isnt Bangkok one interesting place! Those Thai ladies can do anything...and we mean ANYTHING! First night in Bangkok we headed to Patpong Markets and unwittingly wandered into a ping pong show, felt like big perves, but it was like a car accident you couldnt look away. Afterwards we wandered the markets and had dinner. We both had difficulty ordering a coke, based on one of the performances from the show; the banana pancakes were also avoided for the following day as a result of the show!

The following day we visitied the floating markets, the bridge over the river kwai and played with tigers at the tiger temple. As seen on getaway!!!

Today we headed to the very grand palace and had a wander around, took some great pictures (which we will show you all later). Tonight we head to Chiang Mai, which is meant to be beautiful, on an overnight train!

Note to those planning to come to Bangkok - there are so many con men!!!!!!!!! Jarratt and I can't walk more than 20 metres without being told the monument we are heading to is shut for the day and we should jump in this lovely tuk-tuk for a drive around to see the 'lucky buddha' for an hour for the great price of between 20-1baht!!!! For those playing at home there is no lucky buddha and NOTHING is shut over lunch! Keep that in mind if you travel here!

Anyways we're off to drink beer - 2 for 99Baht! About 3bucks Australian! Not that we are trying to rub it in - cause we're not ;)

Much Love, us!
