6.00am Malaysian time, reach Bangkok finally. We
miss the train by 5 minutes. Sh*t! I hate that bus driver. He drop all the passengers at
Kausan Road, a place for backpackers, it's a backpackers heaven. What can go wrong now?
When we collect our backpack back, I found that mine has been open! Lisa notice hers too.
My goodness, they ransack our bags! Double bummer! Luckily nothing is missing, thank God
we kept all our money and passport close to our body, or else we are dead meat! Next thing to do is to find a
place to sit down, chill out and decide what to do next. After a cup of hot Milo at a
coffee shop, we decided to stay a night here and catch the 5.55am train tomorrow. So now
we have the whole day in Bangkok.
We stay a night at J
& Joe's guess house. How we know this place? Well cause Lisa has the Lonely
Planet book! It's the only guide we have. She did her homework very well. Good
job Lisa, we all couldn't have done it without her :) There's only one room with 2 single
bed left, it cost 180 Thai Baht and another 50 Thai Baht for extra one person. Took a
refreshing shower and have a good rest for a while. Zzzzzz.......... :)
It's time to discover
places around Kausan Road. Lot's of backpackers here, especially westerners and Japanese.
Foods, T-Shirts, sourveniours are sold along the street and it's cheap too. They even has
this hair do at the street where you can do your draglog or small pony tail. Kriss has a
strain of her hair to do the draglog. It's pretty cool and cost her 80 Thai Baht. It's a
shopping paradise here. I think I begin to like this place. Kriss and I begin to sport
what kind of things we want to buy when we get back from Cambodia. We can't buy it yet
cause if we do, then we have to carry it all the way to Cambodia. But somehow I bought two
packets of chopstick! No wonder my backpack so heavy! Stupid me :P
Something strange and
funny happen that day. Kriss met up with one Punjabi guy who claims that he can predict
the future very well. I don't know what happen to Kriss but she seems to be very charm by
him. He wants her to pay him some amount of money if she wants to know more about her
future. Kriss agreed and so he ask her to follow him to his office. Lisa and I didn't
trust this guy so we tag along to make sure that Kriss is safe. We follow him to a small
lane, then suddenly he sit on the floor. His office huh? I can't believe Kriss is doing
this! After a few minutes, another Punjabi guy and a big breast girl walk pass us. Fortune
telling too? Oh dear...Kriss pay USD1 to the Punjabi guys for his service. Well I hope his
prediction would be useful to you in the future.
We went to two
wat/temples. One temple has a huge fish ponds with big catfish, "ikan haruan",
turtles and terrapins. It's very peaceful here. I went in the wat to pray for our safe
journey tomorrow. It's raining in the afternoon, so we head back to our room for a rest.
Came out again in the evening for dinner. The Thai food is delicious, we eat a lot that
night.
Tomorrow we gonna head
for Siem Reap, Cambodia. I just hope that everything goes well this time. What do u think?
