Getting set to leave the River View Guest House and Bangkok tomorrow. Catching a river boat to Central Pier then the Sky Train to the bus station and heading southeast to the Thai-Cambodian border. My route involves several stops and starts but I’m looking forward to it. Bangkok is hot, humid and hectic, and I’m longing for some beach, somewhere.
As is usually the case, I’m just starting to get a sense of this huge, fascinating city as I’m about to leave. My guest house is situated on the river (or in close proximity), and there are excellent connections via various modes of public transit to all corners. I gained a bit of confidence this morning, getting to Wat Traimit and back without getting lost and beating a scam artist at his own game in the process! The fact remains though, I’m not much for big cities.
Said good-bye to new friends this afternoon. Kate and Ruth are heading south to surf, sand and (more) sun. I wish them a peaceful, relaxing month; it would be great if our paths were to cross again!
