Surprises
We've really had both one of the highlights of the trip and one of the worst parts yet in 24 hours. Being in Sri Lanka while Colombo was attacked by the Tamil Tigers was terrifying. The scary part was that we didn't know what was going on to start with, and sitting in the pitch black house hearing the planes flying over our heads wasn't great.
Well we got back to India, Chennai, all safe and sound, and were planning on taking the train to Kolkata the same evening... until we realised the journey would take about 30 hours; and Indian trains are bad enough to be on for one hour.
So since we had seen on the departure board at the airport that a plane was leaving for Bangkok the same evening... we headed back to the airport and got on it!!! It was such an amazing feeling being able to do that; just deciding 'hey, lets go to Thailand...' and then do it! It will definately be something I will always remember.
We got to Bangkok early in the morning, and after finding a place to sleep for a few hours we were ready to do the town. It's such a multicoloured city; it's got so many aspects, it's friendly and very easy to love. It's like a huge Chinatown meets Future City meets street-wook and backpacker-pubs meets the orchid-scented smell of old Thai traditions.
And we found Starbucks! So I'm content for now. There is so much to do here, so many places to go, so many things to buy. I definately have to come back here some time (guaranted we'll come back when we fly back to India in a week, straight to Kolkata, yay!).
Now we're in Chumphon and are soon to be leaving by boat to the island Koh Tao.
Take care lovelies
