Arrival in Bangkok

Quint:  Touch down in Bangkok 7am local time, (2am London time!) so you can imagine the sight of my blood-shot eyes at this stage!
After sneaking past the Swine Flu inspectors, we swept through an efficient immigration process and picked up our rucksacks which somehow had managed to follow us all the way!
Reunited with our worldly possessions we changed a bit of cash then delve straight into it......taxi? or bus?  Bridge was for the whole bus, ‘see-the-city’ thing.  I had a different idea – grab a cab, pay the extra bucks – and get straight to our accommodation, fill my belly then hit the sack!
Well...as i sit and write this I am currently on a bus on a highway with backed up traffic that makes Joburg look like the Karoo!  Must say however, they definitely beat Zupco with leather seats and A/C.  As for the surrounding area to Khao San – I would say a mix of the crumblings of Mozambique with the sky scrapers of Dubai.
