Somewhere in Khao San Road

We are moving hotels today in bangkok... not because there is something wrong with our current one (that is, in spite of the constant din from the bar below thank heavens for the ear plugs we bought before coming), but because Bangkok is big and we want to try living in a new neighbourhood... a quieter one this time, Khao San Road is the infamous backpacker ghetto of Bangkok, with more of an Ibiza feel to it than really Bangkok (even if its low prices start attracting young Thais more and more as elsewhere in Bangkok prices go up, or so they tell me). We are moving closer to the river, and we will be planning the days ahead slowly as we visit the majestic Grand Palace, Chinatown and the Wat Po in the coming couple of days.

Oh, and we have just realised today is the first working day after the Christmas break. Oh darn!

ciao Pedro & Lenka,
I can see that you are already very much into serious backpacking now and that you seem to enjoy a lot. Excellent! Send us some sunshine from Thailand as it is fucking grey here in Strasbourg.
ciao ciao

Holla you two,
First of all a "Happy new year". Good to hear that you're okay and enjoying your trip.
It's so true that it's grey and nasty over here but please keep the sunshine in Thailand. We'll be following you in a month or so and want our share of it as well (sorry Gilles)! ;o)
Say hi to the beaches,
Daniel

Hello!
happy New Year to both of you!
yes we are working today-it's very quiet in STU, everyone's on New Year holidays.
Really warm - not like on Bangkok, but still not normal.
