Well, the wine on the flight was a little too tasty… it meant i had a very good sleep though, for the sake of people sitting around me, i hope I didn’t snore or talk in my sleep! Of course, my bag decided that is hadn’t wanted to travel with me and I was informed that it was left in England… (silver lining: excuse to shop straight away) but luckily it arrive in one piece the next day!
The temples and grad palace are beautiful, the palace is especially extravagant. I have also managed a few boat trips :D the rive stinks in some places! But it is also full of catfish which the monks feed.
The tour guide I had yesterday was trying to marry me off to her son! (I think under the assumption that because I am English I am going to become either a doctor or a lawyer) but apart from that she was great. Ven: remember those steps that we climbed to get to the top of a temple at tikel? Well the temple of dawn (its beautiful, 33 levles to represent the 33 heavens all covered in ceramic) was also like that! Lol. At Wat Pho the reclining buddha is the biggest in the world, its 46m long and 15m high, I never expected to see a gold Buddha bigger than my york house!
Decided to have a Thai fully body massage as well, which was a combination of lovely, relaxing, ticklish (I must of seamed crazy giggling in the little head hole) and painful at time, I was quite shocked when the small masseuse actually got onto the massage table with me, and I swear she stood on my back at one point!
Todays traveling tip, brought to you from personal experience is it is impossible to do anything whilst riding a tuk tuk (especially, French plat your hair, eat a cereal bar or drink water).
