Seeing the World: 'Bangkok take TWO'

Bangkok - 21/08/2013 - 27/08/2013

MeeeeeSCOOOZI... This reminds me of the film Eurotrip when there on the train.. haha

Back in Bangkok but this time we decided to stay in Sukhumvit, it's a little more expensive but it's more central to all the markets and nightlife etc. The skytrain in Bangkok covers most of the inner suburbs but it doesn't go out to Koh San Road (the old quarter), so it would of meant we would of had to get a tuk tuk in everyday so we just chilled out here.

It wasn't nearly as good as the Koh San Road area which is amazingly lively and very backpacker oriented, but we found alot to do and even just wandering about provided us with entertainment. We even saw a man dressed up as a giant pot noodle running about!

REALLLY??? Mcdonalds are EVERYWHERE!!!!!! GO AWAY!!!!!!

We had heard about a big cheap mall called M.B.K so we wandered around this hugggeeee mall in search of some good bargains before we left Asia. Also the tablet screen had been broken in Siem Reap, not sure how but we managed to get it fixed in an hour, so we were happy!

We got some awesome bargains, fake calvin klien underwear for next to nothing, got to be done! This mall we came to realise was by far the best (except for the weekend market) It's actually fucking scary when you go to massive cities like this, you can walk down a stretch of road for half an hour and you will see maybe 7 or 8 MASSIVE shopping malls, some classier than others. It puts into prospective how much of a consumer nation we are! We managed two days shopping one here and one at the weekend market which was beyond crazy, and that was enough!!!!

Yummy lunch to break up the shopping, I also got a colourful braid put in my hair :) she glued an extension in the back and went to town wrapping string and stuff around, I love it!

Taxi anyone? Pick a colour!

The skytrain was awesome, you are literally cuddling everyone around you, squeeeze on!

Haha....

We found a pub in the evening that had some 'out of date' old rosie in the back, we managed to get several pints on the cheap. It tastes better with age so i wasn't complaining. Started chatting to a crazy Canadian guy called Wald, what a legend! Spent allll night getting really messy with him and sharing stories, Olly conked out in the morning and we went to a dodgy pub and carried on the drinking, I met a Danish guy who made his own liqourice vodka, for all the liqourice fans out there if you've ever had pontifract cakes, it was like a liquid version of that. I rocked up at 3pm steaming drunk shouting at Olly telling him he had to try it. We eventually found the bar again and Olly loved it, damn so good.

The famous liqourice king!!! Name unknown due to social confusion and lack of memory.

We decided to go to the IMAX in town because we'd never been before, we watched a documentory on the hubble telescope narrated by Leonardo dicaprio, it was pretty special!!!

This was on the way to the weekend market, as I said before it was absolute mayhem. We spent the day getting lost in a sea of shops, it stretched over 35 acres and had over 15,000 stalls selling anything u could imagine. No joke.
