Happy New Year
HAPPY NEW 2549!
Our New Year's Eve was fairly low key but good fun...we had an amazing meal in a restaurant by the Chao Praya river and then investigated several of the bars between Pr Arthit (the arty area of Bangkok) and Khao San Road (trashy backpackers' ghetto). After midnight we headed back to the hotel only to find there was a full-on Thai party in the side street next to us...Thankfully we had ear plugs with us to block out their terrible attempts at karaoke! They certainly know how to party as it went on until after 7am. It's now 3.50pm and it's just kicking off again for another night of frivolities. We might try and gatecrash...after all, if you can't beat them, join them!
We get the night bus tomorrow to Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. Bangkok's been great but I wouldn't want to stay here much longer than our 5 planned days. There's lots to see and do and the people are remarkably friendly but it's still a loud, polluted city where for every beautiful temple there are streets of poor run-down shacks.

Well it seems that your New Year's Eve was fairly similar to ours - eating and drinking - fortunately we didn't need the ear defenders!
Enjoy the Night bus

Hello M&K wherever you are now! Sounds like everything's going well so far, but am v glad you survived the dodgy soup and thai karaoke!! Back to work for us today so just thought I'd let you know how jealous I am of your trip!! Keep having fun, and take care, love Vik xx
Happy New Year to you both too! Bristol is cold and wet and I don't want to be at work, still at least the blog is keeping me entertained between people who have forgotten their passwords!
