Doing the Maccas WAI
( The
Thai greeting referred to as the
wai (
Thai:
ไหว้, pronounced
[wâay]) consists of a slight
bow, with the palms pressed together in a prayer-like fashion. It is
very similar to the
Indian Añjali Mudrā/namasté and the
Cambodian sampeah.
The higher the hands are held in relation to the face and the lower the
bow, the more respect or reverence the giver of the
wai is
showing.)
Well I travelled from Krabi after leaving Phi Phi Island to Bangkok buy Bus. Took a night bus and arrived in Bangkok at 4 in the morning. Didnt know where the hell the bus had dropped me and after hounding by about a dozen Tul Tul drivers got one to take me to Khao San Road which is a renound backpackers area. Asked the driver how far it was and he said about 3 km away. So after we go round the block a few times he drops me about 600 mtrs from where he picked me up, and just as sdome of the fellow backpackers on the bus rounded the corner. Needless to say I wasnt happy.
With no where to stay I sat on the curb with all the rubbish and watched a few piss heads getting chatted up by the local Ladyboys. Whether they knew or not I didn't care.
Stayed in Bangkok for a few days but was keen to move on and get to Cambodia
