Jan 24 - Bangkok

Flew to bangkok in the PM, it was crazy. and once again taxi drivers trying to rip us off ' no english, big van you pay more' but we jsut gave him what we knew we owed and were told to... getting smarter! Thailand was a bit of a wake up call after the sleepy philippines. Philippino people are (mostly) patient helpful and kind, and very foreward when askign for money or food. but thai people we qui9ckly found were more on the scheming side of things... there are lots of nice thais but also lots that are jsut out to get your money!
We went to the biggest mall in bangkok called MBK. It is like the outside markets but inside and airconditioned which is nice. We didn't spend too much time in bangkok, it was a bit crazy. Stayed on Rambuttri Street near Kho San Road (the party/tourist hub of bangkok) it was a good experience, we didn't go out partying at all we just wanted to get somewhere a bit more chill and less expensive! The pad thais and other street food were delicious and cheap but restuarants still ranging 5-7$ and clothes costing more than in other areas.
