Traveling the World

2 days ago we went to the Grand Palace in the west of Bangkok. Went to patpong in the evening to show the girls what it was like (patpong is a show where the girls put things in weird places), and they normally say pay 100 baht for a beer and see the show for free, but most of these places also then try to make you pay for the most ridiculous things. This place tried to get us to pay 5400 baht. We pretended to call the police as we grabbed our beers and walked out. After that we treated ourselves to a nice 2 hour Thai massage for 280baht.

Yesterday we left Bangkok and took a private car to Ayuthaya (however you spell it). We saw a few temples and the summer palace at Bang Pa-in. I wasn’t too interested in it all to be honest.. I just couldn’t get excited at those sites. One thing to note is that I happened to ride an elephant

We got dropped off at the bus terminal early, so we settled our tickets and took a taxi back into town to get the girls the best exchange rate we saw for the entire time we were in Thailand (1 rmb = 4.94 baht). The taxi driver took the long way and after an hour and 15 minute ride we paid 350 baht. We ran to get the errands done and caught another taxi back to the bus terminal. The way back lasted 30 minutes and only 140 baht (so we know the first driver screwed us).

We left at 8pm and took a chartered bus like Greyhound (but obviously not) to Krabi town, where we arrived this morning. We were harassed like usual, and eventually came across a good place 2 hours later (we took a taxi to Ao Nang, instead of going out to Koh Lanta island).

We had thai food for lunch, which I had to RUN back to the hotel because the food didn’t agree with me (literally ran for 10 minutes to get back). Later in the today we had Burger King for the sheer purpose of having a burger, since BK doesn’t exist in Wuhan and burgers are yummy. After BK we walked on the beach down to this mini forest and took some pictures on the huge rocks. Then we walked back to the hotel and died from exhaustion.
