Last Day in Bangkok

Posted by Brian

Posted on July 27, 2007

Finally today we get to leave Bangkok. The longer we stay here, the more I really don't like this city. Today though we saw the sun for the first time. Man is it hot. So we are hiding from it now.

Had my first red curry too, it was hot and probably a mistake on a day like today. Pad Thai is great though. Hopefully I still think that in a few hours. The curry was so strange. Basically it comes to you in a massive soup bowl. I fished out most of the meat then and left a huge amount of curry sauce behind. No way was I drinking that.

We took a few videos of a tuk tuk ride last night...

The vidoes don't give you the whole experience though. You have to be able to hear it too. Plus the part of the Tuk Tuk ride we shot was not the best part. Its when you build up speed that it gets good. Not sure if I mentioned before about the tuk tuk drive who started doing wheelies with us in the back. Was great fun.

Anyway, will talk more later.

Couldn't see the video but there is no way that tuc tuc are better than Indian AutoRickshaws, and if they have better performance the indian drivers complete lack of fear by in far compinsates. Looks like we will be in Thailand by 18th August. Oh fixed wickedleprechauns.com so anyone looking for a larger blog please follow the link above.
