Before I get into Bangkok, I'd like to mention that it just occurred to me that I was a little narrow-minded in choosing a name for my blog ("kaileydoeschina") I'm in too deep now, so the name stays. Sorry if I confused anyone or made anybody question whether or not Tuscany was now a part of China. But you're all clever people so I'm sure you figured it out.
Bangkok! It's pretty surreal being here. Especially because I've met up with some great friends whom I haven't seen in a long time. Altogether, there are 7 of us: me, Emily, Hilary, Jennie, Lindsay, Stef, and Sarah.
Em and I arrived around 2am and patiently (or stupidly) waited for 2 hours for our friend Hilary's flight from Hong Kong before asking why it was delayed and when we should expect her. (she was meant to land 20 minutes before us) After being told that her flight hadn't even left HK yet, we decided to head to our hotel. Thankfully Hilary was able to find her way to our hotel where the front desk gave her our room number and a key without hesitation... Even though her name wasn't on our reservation. Not very reassuring in terms of our safety, but it was convenient under the circumstances.
Yeaterday, we did a bit of nosing around on Khao San road. The market is filled with sunglasses, clothes, jewelry, and more. It's even cheaper here than China! The food too. Holy smokes. Treats around every corner. Pad Thai on the street is amazing and so inexpensive - about $1 for a heaping plate of deliciousness.
This morning we're off on an elephant adventure. I'm way too excited for 6am. Tonight will be our last night in Bangkok then we head to the islands for some more fun times.
