Bangkok...part 2

Hello!

Havent been able to get online recently as connection is really bad where I am staying on Koh Phangan! Hope you are all ok, ive got lots to tell......

Lat night in Bangkok was certainly one to remember, won't go inyo any detail but ended up going to a ping pong show with my tour group, i think the boys were more shocked than the girls!lol, well you have to say youve done it, but certaintly wont be going again lol.

So, last day in Bangkok we checked out of our rooms and walked to the grand palace, its absolutely beautiful! So much detail in everything there and it was much bigger than I expected. Unfortunately we went when there was a massive thunderstorms so rushed round abit quicker than would have liked and oculdnt take many pictures beacuse I didnt want to get my camera wet.

As we were leaving I got interviewed but some locals about my experience at Grand Palace, very funny as some of their questions made no sense! and then they all wanted pictures taken with me! Quite entertaining. Also saw the guard change over at the grand palace which was really good to see! We then got Tuk Tuk's back to Koh San Road, our driver was on an absolute mission! we nearly had about 3 accidents! but all good fun, im sure they drive quicker when westerners are in them!

Anyway, went then started our journey down to Koh Phangan. We were waiting at Bangkok train station and suddenly everyone stood up in silence, we then worked out they had been soluting the king! a very strange thing to see!

We then had an overnight train to Surat Thani, the beds were actually really comfy and I was so tired I slept for the majority of the 12 hr journey and watched some friends on my ipod (thanks em and mikey). Part of the boat ride there was a storm so we got absolutely drenched! But refreshing at the same time. In total it took 21hrs to get to the island but i was glad to be leaving Bangkok and hopefully looking forward to seeing some sun! :)
