Big Question Marks

Our first three days - kind of!

Hey everybody, we're well situated in Bangkok just off Khao San Road. Lots of hippies and travellers here.
We arrived in town 10:30am local time so we were shoved straight into the fray. It's a nice 25 degrees Celsius and it took us a while to get our bearings.

The airport bus took us to the tourist district (Khao San), and we found a great place to stay called the Bella Bella guest house. It was kinda sparce, just 2 beds that we put together, and a fan. Our bathroom is shared with the floor but it's readily available.
The bathroom is also the shower, it's a bit of a culture shock when you're showering above your toilet! Not that we need it but there's no hot water, which is great because you get so bloody hot and sticky walking around seeing the sight - a cold shower is very relaxing!

We've seen many Wats or temples, Buddhism is very big here and there are lots of monks. The food is great and spicy, plus the beer is cheap!
We've met another traveller yesterday named Patrick, he was from Belgium. We all had dinner for 15 baht (50 cents), it was a weird rice porrage with an egg and some onions and some ginger.

We're going to try to head north to Chiang Mai in the next couple of days, we hear there is a Flower festival going on.

We found this Internet cafe and we'll try to upload some of our pictures!

Stay tuned and travel safe,
Adrian and Dayle Questionmark
