Back to Bangkok 23-3-2007

So on from Saigon and back to Bangkok for a few days. Everything seems so different to when we were here a month a ago. I think as we headed north to Chang Mai, then Laos, then Cambodia etc., things gradually got rawer and less western. Happening over a month we didn't event notice. Coming back here suddenly from Saigon is a real change though. Everything seems far more western, comfortable and calmer ... traffic is definitely a lot more civil than Saigon :-). We'll stay here a couple of days, visit Ayutthaya for a day trip, do our last fitting at the tailor, visit a few sights, then get the train south to explore the islands for a couple of weeks.
