We have arrived safetly in Bangkok. The flight over was OK because I was lucky enough to get an emergency exit seat, and the Thai airways staff were REALLY eager to help at any point with drinks etc. I didn't get any sleep though, so yesterday was spent in a bit of a daze after getting into town at about 1.30pm.
Thailand has a great feel to it. We headed for the Khao San road, which is where the majority of backpackers head for. We managed to find a decent hotel without breaking the budget, and then we headed to a few bars to talk to some people.
After speaking to many people, it seems the best thing to do is to head north, to Chaing Mai, and then do the border crossing into Laos etc. I spoke to a Canadian guy who has done the same trip as I want to, and he said that he had no problems with the route he took, so I'll do that.
Right, off to try and get Kari out of bed and then breakfast...........
