Monday, Feb 1st. I stepped off the plane and immediately I was overwhelmed with the level of humidity. It was worse than Singapore. The humidity felt like it was around 150%. Help, how do I cope with this!!!
I arrived into Bangkok at around 17:30 and left the airport an hour later and it was already dark outside! I met a few young British kids and we took the airport express together. By the end of the 45 min journey, I have concluded that they are in Thailand for a binge drinking and partying holiday. So there was absolutely no possibility of us travelling together.
I was dropped off near Kao San road, the backpackers hang out area. It was about 20:00 and I still have to find a place to stay for the night. I walked out of the busy area and proceeded to try and find a quiet area to stay in. Unfortunately it's the busy season now so quite a few places are full. I eventually found a place at 21:30 on Samsen road. It wasn't ideal but I was getting hungry and tired of carrying my bag. Lucky for me, my bag didn't weight alot so I didn't break my back carrying it for 1.5hrs.
I have a simple room with a double bed, AC, and my own toliet and shower. But the shower had no shower curtains so I had to close the lid of the toliet, otherwise the seat would get wet. I paid 490 baht for it, but I reckon this room was a bit over priced for what it is in Thailand. I'll look for another place tomorrow. Tonight, I will shower and go out to look for some food.
