After our time in Ko Phi Phi and Ko Lanta we headed to the
big city: Bangkok. Our hotel was
located in a pretty touristy part of town, Rambuttri, which is right near the
Khao San Road which is ultimate tourist part of town. Everyone around us was white tourists with backpacks.
Shame. But that’s okay because
touristy part of town equals shopping and that is what we did. There were lots of shops and stalls selling
everything from knockoff polo shirts to $1 pad thai to fried scorpions to
pashmina shawls. We went to the
Chatuchak Weekend Market and bought more things that can’t fit into our
backpacks. Then we went to MBK
Mall (also known as the best mall ever!) and bought more and more stuff that
couldn’t fit into our backpacks. I
was super excited about buying $10 Lacoste shirts which look pretty real. Every night we spoiled ourselves and
got 100 baht foot massages on the street, sitting in the rows of chairs filled
with tourists getting massages. We
ate lots of pad thai, curry and tom yam soup and other yummy Thai food. We made one attempt at being cultured
and visited the Wat Phra Kaew and Palace then went back to shopping again.
We hope to return to Bangkok again soon, with more space in
our luggage! Now we’re back in
India, currently traveling around the north with Olivia’s mom and sister. Yippee!
Love,
The Wandering Two
