Thailand in a day/few hours

Touching down in Bangkok we had no idea what we were going to do! We had 17 hours until our flight to Vietnam. We didn't have a room booked anywhere.. Planning on sleeping in the airport we had to fill some time in between...

First stop was food, obviously! Making our way into central Bangkok we were totally clueless! Walking the from the MRT (metro) all we could see were office buildings.. No food! With our heavy rucksacks breaking our backs we were desperate. We found a McDonald's. It was our only salvation, so we grabbed it with both hands and it was good.. Really good! You might say we were lovin' it!!

But what were we to do next? Well, we thought Thai.. A Thai massage of course! We researched it fully in our travel books found a taxi and told him which one we'd chosen. The taxi driver then proceeded to tell us we were crazy and took us to a completely different one! But he was very nice so we trusted him fully (might just point out we were tres tired at this point so our judgement may have been slightly clouded!) arriving at what was actually a delish spa we got to work having our feet washed! Dressing us in some bizarre outfits the masseurs all worked on us for an hour and a half each! It was bliss after a flight followed by a long trek to Maccy D's! Leaving there we were told to get the 29 bus back to the airport... Much easier said than done during rush hour! Anyway long story short, with the help of a lovely Thai girl we got on the right bus and made the very sweaty journey back to the airport to spend the night sprawled across our luggage protecting it while we slept (ish) .

Was an experience to say the least, but we enjoyed it!

Vietnam next kids, will be updating soon!
