16/11/2009 - B-b-b-bangkok Baby!

I just got back from my first ever trip to Bangkok. It was surprisingly relaxed considering I was only there for a day and a half. The traffic in Bkk is horrendous and getting anywhere by car takes forever. We decided, induced by our excessive party behaviour in Honkers, to hire a driver to take us out of the city and into the neighbouring province to sight see and shizzle. (although to be fair we didnt realise that the drive was going to take 2 hours and there was a hairy moment where I thought we might possibly be being driven into Black Market Kidney town). Here's basically my my trip in pictures for all you blog devotees.
Miss you

The floating markets in the canals of the neighboring province:






That's me sat on an elephant!!! As you do on a Saturday afternoon...






A visit to the 'Reclining Buddah' temple. We got told off for being 'too sexy' (uncovered shoulders) and there was an entire wall of pots where you deposit one coin into each as you walk the length of the temple and as you do you make a wish or say thanks for something you are grateful for.







Crazy ass flooding when it POURED down mid afternoon!


Freaky animal shows (I didnt go see any of these by the way):



Rounding of the sun soaked day - Enjoying cocktails on the rooftop of Bangkok's tallest building: Vertigo bar on the 59th floor... where drinks are made of gold (a glass of HOUSE red was nearly 10 golden pounds!)
