Day 4, Bangkok


Its 7:48 in Bangkok and I've just gotten back to the hostel. Initial plans were to leave for Cambodia at 4:30AM and as such I thought it would be easier to stay up all night. Later in the night the team thought it might be in our best interest to go to Chiang Mai first, unfortunately the airline doesn't open until 8AM. If there are tickets we'll grab the flight to Chiang Mai, if not we'll get on a bus to Cambodia, either way we win.
Around midnight I asked a few hostel folk if they wanted to get some food, this lead to a trip to koh san road (spelt wrong?). Koh San is about a mile long stretch of street vendors, bars, and night clubs. This street is popular among backpackers as a place to get a drink and buy souvenirs. What was intended to be a short trip was extended due to lady boy fights, meeting new travelers and $.25 redbulls. The unexpected all-nighter turned out to be a great time and I made friends with a few other students who will be studying in Australia, who knew foreigners were so friendly?

  2. Is Red Bull the same as here in the states? As in a highly-caffeinated soft drink? As in "Red Bull gives you wings"? Or does Red bull give you a buzz instead? Just trying to clarify.....

  3. It's like the red bull energy drink in the states, the exception being it isn't carbonated and has a syrup-type quality to it.
