    We’ve been watching your vids back in the UK for a few weeks leading up to our trip. Today’s our second day in Bangkok and how you guys don’t seem to be phased by the heat baffles us!
    We did Wat Pho yesterday and got to Wat Saket before 8am today to try and beat the heat!
    We’re hoping the islands will be a little less intense
    Jodd’s Fair night market is cheap and interesting if you haven’t been

    A good blog. I like the food court on the top floor of Terminal 21 but I believe that the food court on the sixth floor of MBK has a greater selection to choose from and is a tad cheaper. Another inexpensive fun experience is catching the sky train to Sophan Taksin station and then catching the River Express Boat to a pier near Wat Pho or alternately Phra Arthit if you want to visit the KSR backpacker area. Keep enjoying your travels.
