Definitely best place I have been so far…
Sorry I haven’t been writing much! I know I didn’t really post anything on Barcelona… SO, I’ll sum it up. I didn’t give it a chance. I was so excited for Thailand I wished my time away there. We went to a club and made some friends and that was definitely a blast but didn’t do much else. We walked around an art gallery and the most amazing market I have ever seen but ya, kinda boring.
Now for Thailand. It’s my second day in Bangkok and I wish time would stop. I never want to leave. The people here are SO HAPPY. Always laughing and smiling and great with customer service. It is CHEAP it’s scary cheap, the kind of cheap like walking into the dollar section at target and you realize your 30 items deep, cheap. Fatin and I had no clothes when we got here and it was as hot as satans right toe. So, we went shopping and got some traditional Thai clothes and wraps, sandals and shorts for not even $20. It was awesome. The food here to is amazing. It’s 30 baht so $1 for a big plate of Pad Thai and I have eaten it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. I dont know how but I can’t get enough. But seriously I haven’t had anything else… other than giant (USA’s large) smoothies with real fruit for $1… never will I go to tropical smoothie again.
Currently as I’m writing I just had a 30 minute Thai massage (INCREDIBLE) and a pedicure for 400 baht. So like $11. Oh and for those who want to know how cheap it is to travel Thailand. We went to the Thailand information agency (so much cheaper) and booked our entire flights, hostels, busses and boats on all the islands (the islands are more expensive than the north) were staying until the 14th and it costs us $280 each… if you come here don’t go to businesses for tickets and prices because they are way more. But yeah, were happy girls because more money we save = more Pad Thai!!!
Oh and the hostel were staying in is awesome!!!!!!! We’ve made friends with everyone in there and went to koh san road (the tourist street you always see in videos) and just walked and danced all around. People here do laughing gas.. you suck on a balloon and it makes you laugh… so stupid and so many damaged brain cells so I didn’t partake but it was funny seeing others reactions. Last night was awesome though because everyone is so friendly and everyone is backpacking so it’s so easy to make friends.
Ill be here enjoying myself and heading to the islands in two days for beach parties, snorkeling, tanning, eating, and hopefully scuba diving!!:) oh and for the family who reads this, I gave up alcohol a long time ago so don’t think I’m just getting drunk and partying all the time hahaha. Anyways, have an amazing week and I’ll write some more whenever I find free time!:)
