Thailand

My last day in Delhi was spent chilling out and walking around. I visited the red fort with the intention of having a look round but got turned away as the Indian police were preparing for the Priminister to give a talk there that evening for Indian independence day. I met a really interesting 19yr old lad from Leeds and an Australian girl he was traveling with. They had been in Pakistan when the floods hit and had to be airlifted to safety by the Pakistani army. Got a taxi from my hotel in Paranganj to the airport, on the way we got pulled over by the traffic police, turns out my taxi driver hadn't renewed his license. When he was handed the fine he got a healthy beating of 2 punches to the face and a kick from this fat traffic cop. I thought it unfair...I flew with Indian airways to BK from the new terminal 3. The airport was beautiful and Air India potentially the most comfortable airline i've flown with. The air hostess kept brining me beers and the curry for lunch was really nice. I touched down in BK and got the bus to Khao San road. I didnt stay on Khao San but near by. I was astonished at how much cleaner BK was than Delhi, my single room with fan costing 160 baht was pure luxury in comparison to the hostels in India. In fact I felt that BK had come on along way since my last visit 2 summers ago. I went out that evening with two chaps from Leeds, it was good to have cheap beer to drink again. We had a good night; so much so that i overslept check out and had to pay an 80 baht fine. I got a night bus to Chang Mai. Considering all the hype about Chang Mai it's just a city, i know most the activities are outside the city but i'm pushed for time and Laos sounds so much better so i'm heading to the boarder tomz morning to try and get a slow boat that day. Love to all, xxx
