Day 2 - Bangkok

I left Bangkok 2 years ago, and I find it today exactly the same way I left it. Thousands of people and cars mixing together in a perfect blend of chaos, smells and colours. The high level of humidity and pollution is rather shocking once left the airport and even more when approaching the downtown crowded street. Improbable sellers trying to offer you what it looks like ’the bargain of your life’:
t-shirts, flip-flops, underwear, watches, films, suits, shoes, homemade porno movies, food and whatever you are looking for, you can probably find it here. I am strolling around sparking lights, feeling exhausted after 11 hours flight and 6 hours jetlag, but at the same time really relieved to go for a walk and maybe for a good massage. The guest house I am staying in is the same I have used the previous years. Here as well nothing seems really changed.. friendly people, a very international crowd and decent rooms. I was also looking for my little signature left on the guest-wall 2 years ago, and obviously it is still there (since probably the place never went through a proper re-decoration). This time however I am staying here, and in Bangkok only tonight. I want to head to Cambodia as early as possible tomorrow and I am aiming to reach Siem Reap by tomorrow evening, where finally I will stop and relax for 3 days.

I am off for a good Pad-Thai now, then a shower and the bed.
As always... TWIMO
