Bangkok

So we had flown back into Bangkok Don Mueng and got a taxi back to Khao san road as we already had a hotel booked called the swasadee banglumpoo inn which happened to be next door to the hotel i stayed at last year with Thaintro.

The hotel was 665 baht which inc buffet breakfast. Please do not book into this hotel !!!!!!! We asked if Leigh could join us in our room and reception said she could for 200 bht but she would have to share our double bed with usor sleep on the floor, which thete was no room anyway. The rooms were tiny !!

They also wanted 500 bht deposit for the room but Leigh sugeseted giving our passports which they were happy with too as it meant we werent going to be left with 500 bht in the morning that we didnt need.

The room was not what was shown on the internet at all , it was tiny , the bed was suited so one had to climb over the other to get out and our cashcards didnt work , surprise surprise !! Nowhere but ATMs seem to accept the cards !! Occasionally we get somewhere where it works but its embarassing when it doesnt, when your trying 5 different cards !!

Anyway the bathroom door opened onto the toilet, the breakfast had flies crawling all over it and the coffee needing refilling twice and they were so slow about doing it !!

Anyway, we decided to go to the Indian restaurant again as we loved it so much last time, then we went shopping on Khao San and found a great ice cream parlour wherevi had peanut butter and chocolate with choc fudge sauce and nuts and cream for 85bht !! After a few hours and some beats speakers later, we went back to our hotel to repack our bags for sydney. Making sure we put all our declaration items in our hand luggage.

In the morning we tried to fill up best we could on breakfast - thank goodness my auntie had packed me some marmite !! So will filled ip on toast and chicken sausage !! We had another morninf of trapesing around the stalls as lukes flip flops had given in and then we all found amini bus to take us to the airport for 100 baht each. The taxis were charging well over 400 !!

We got to the airport early with Leigh who was staying the night there as her flight was the next day. We all grabbed a burger king and i had their special of mushroom and cheese yummy. Then it was time for us to board and walked the very long way to our gate.


We had a great flight but would not recommend malaysian airlines to fly again, most their films are asian and muslim prayers are read out and music is played on the flight so couldnt sleep !! We got to Sydney fine after connecting at KL which was a great airport but no wifi really but a good Mcdonalds and easy to change your money to their currency ringit. Plus our cards worked at McD so i could get a hersheys cake and it was gorgeous !!

Stay tuned for Sydney ,
