Bangkok

I freaking love this city. Bangkok is one of the most amazing and lively places I have seen. We spent both of our days in Bangkok in a part of town that is famous for housing backpackers like ourselves. The area is called Koh Sahn, and it is really incredible. During the day we passed time by visiting huge outdoor markets which sold everything from food to clothes to bootleg DVDs. At night, we visited bars playing live music and got drinks from street vendors.

On Thursday night we met up with one of Laura's friends, who lives and works in Bangkok. He and his friend took us out to dinner and then showed us around town a bit. We stopped for awhile in Bangkok's Chinatown, which was amazing. There were so many lights and street vendors that I thought I was in Korea again. After driving us around for a bit we said our goodbyes and parted ways.

On Friday, Laura had to head back to the airport to catch her flight home. Megan and I spent the day lounging in coffee shops, eating delicious Thai food, and spending some time catching up on emails and such. We also got a two hour Thai massage for about 15 dollars. Soon thereafter, we caught our bus to the airport and spent the night at a nearby hotel. The next morning we were on our way home, and the trip was over.
