Bangkok, Day 1


Bangkok: Day 1

Today was our first day in Thailand. After an hour of walking around with our backpacks, we finally found a wretched little room to call our own right off the fleabag backpacker's favorite street, Khao San. We wrung out our clothes and took our second showers within two hours, then set off on foot to walk to Chinatown, where we gawked at copious amounts of useless plastic crap and fake gold jewelry. Our next stop was Siam Square, a posh, high-tech shopping distric crammed with useless plastic crap and real gold jewelry. (Real, but nonetheless ugly.) We had smoothies, then careened across town in a tuk tuk, captive to our diabolical sour-puss of a driver.
