Greetings Friends
It's Sunday afternoon and we are rocking with our Bangkoks out. We arrived in Thailand two days ago and boy howdy it has been hectic so far. The journey was excellent. In some type of act of karma the plane had about twelve excellent films to choose from after I had PS I Love You and The Chipmunks n my last long plane journey (Go see Adventureland!). After getting in we were whisked to our hotel in the middle of some sort of meat packing slum. The actual place was great but we were warned not go out because 'dangerous'. Still it gave us the chance to get used to the humidity and enjoy some Thai food. Also we were next to a river with giant fish and tiny crocodile.
Bangkok itself is just an assault on the senses. Noise, people and most of all smells. Some are good, many are confusing, some awful. Everything is sugar based it seems. Anyway, we had a walk along the Khao San Road and were offered everything from tuk tuk rides to tailoring to eye tattoos to foot massages from tiny fish. It's so cheap but it doesn't mean it's enticing in anyway.
We have another day here and then we're heading on a 14 hour train ride to Ko Samu aka the beach. Still, I think it'll be a more enjoyable journey than going down Brelades on a busy summers day.
Missing you all,
Steve & Nic

PS - No luck finding your illegitimate son Tannas. Sorry. We'll keep looking.
