Went to explore some other parts of the city today and found ourselves a nice little guest house under our budget, basic but pretty and very clean, above a nice stylish little cafe too. Also on the same road as a vegetarian restaurant we found from a Bangkok lonely planet guide Poonam brought yesterday...really yummy food and so healthy too! I don't think we are going to loose any weight in Bangkok either hehe!
A guy in the tourist informatin place didn't believe I had been traveling for so long because I have no tan..I am tanned damn it! Well for me anyway :P
We went shopping in a shopping mall yesterday, and are going to go shopping in another big mall tomorrow, unfortunately all the other smaller shopping places are closed until the 16th so there isnt much around, but it is nice because the city is not too crowded...apart from all the water throwing parties that is!!
Today we also got an epic soaking, we walked around a different part of the city which wasn't too bad, a few water pistols and buckets but we dried fairly quickly from it. We decided to get the BTS (skytrain) back to Nana and then walk the short way down our road to our hotel...such a mistake!! The road was FULL of people with water pistols, buckets of ICE water, hoses etc. We didn't stand a chance, everyone rides around in the back of trucks with water as well, getting the people on the street, at one point we could not see because of the water being poured on our heads! See picture below...
They also put chalky plaster of your face as well...fun times! Though I was drying money in the room and Poonams phone broke from water damage so we are off to buy a new phone and new shoes also tomorrow as they will take days to dry oops! We will be better prepared tomorrow...everything in plastic bags...triple wraped and water pistols at the ready.
Much love from Saskia and Poonam xxx
