Well, I’m back in Thailand. I landed here at around 12:30am local time and made the quick checkout and drive by taxi to Bangkok in around an hour. I hadn’t been able to make a defininte reservation in Seoul, but when I got to the airport there were a number of vendors eager to help me secure a booking. I took a cheap room in a place called the Leila Inn which turned out to be not so bad. However for the same money back in Seoul, I could’ve been staying in a nice love motel with widescreen TV and all the creature comforts. As such, this is Bangkok and I guess things are a little overpriced, but still affordable. If you are planning a trip here, my recommendation would be to use a site called www.asiarooms.com. It gives you pretty good discounts at a range of hotels throughout asia and as long as you use it at least 2 days before your visit you should be ok with availability.
Last night, I got some street food which was pretty good, but it was really only for the sake of it. My stomach didn’t really feel like a lot. After that, I tried getting a hold of my friend Sujoy (see his site) who was here from Singapore, but didn’t have any luck on his mobile. We did this last time I was here too, just missing each other. Oh well, maybe I’ll have to get around to going to the nanny state soon to say hi.
Today I had a little walk, but the heat was making me sweaty so I decided to just go back and check out of my hotel. I had a hotel booked in Pattaya for the next two days so I may as well waste my time on the beach.
