One day ago I was being openly ridiculed in the street for not having the latest smart phone. Today I am sitting on a rust clad train with no windows, sailing by corrugate iron shantys.
Welcome to Bangkok. I eventually found the train station, then my hotel. Only after the airport information desk tried to screw me over with a taxi scam.
I met my new tour who all seem really nice, especially my room mate Tom. A 23 year old engineer from Bristol. I think we are going to get on really well. We started off my eating a scorpion each, tasted like chicken!
There are also a group of British dentists; Sunita, Shena and Sira. Who joined Tom and I at the ping pong show, they even seemed a little more keen than us!
Alan and Heather a retired couple from Newcastle. Zander and Susan from New York and a group of Canadians; Dave, Patty, Jason and Dee and of course Aplle our wonderful guide.
Later that evening Tom and I, accompanied by three girls from the tour, Suneta, Shena and Si, went to the main drag where we were confronted by a seedy little man. "You wanna go ping pong shoooow? You see some ladies... Put put put?"
All I want to share is that I need to disinfect my fingers as I had to fend off a rouge ball coming for me and that when a banana is fired at a pole the noise is not pleasant.
