Day 23 Tues 9/19
Finished with our travels in Indonesia, we moved on to Thailand. Our travels consisted of a ton of traffic in Bali, a five hour flight, arrival, and hours of traffic in Bangkok. In Bangkok, we were stuck in a bridge for a while why the king passed by. The queen died August 12th so there are big pictures of her everywhere. Bangkok is a huge city and much different than Bali. The streets are constantly crowded with people selling things. A lot of the cabs here are the colors of the rainbow, and there are tuktuks for tourism that are like motorized carriage cabs. We got to Kao San Rd. and found a room for 500 baht. It's really tricky switching up currency and figuring out conversions to the amount of US dollars your using, from won in Korea to rupiah in Indonesia and now baht in Thailand. After walking through the streets, we got dinner at a place where there was a guy singing the music we love. We got Thai massages, which taught me to stick with regular massages for the rest of the trip. The man stretched my body in ways that I can't imagine would be delightful for anyone. At the end of the night, we found out our room was right above a night bar and fell asleep to the blaring music.
