Smile and say no thanks

The tuk-tuk drivers are at me again...incessantly LOL. So I keep walking and do like the title says. The usual questions are where are you from, where are you going? To which I now reply: nowhere. Its the most effective response so far! Some of the drivers are nice, of course but many are like human mosquitoes. I was even curb crawled one late night by a driver, who slowed right down to keep pace with my walk.

I was out on the razzle last night, and unfortunately am out again tonight for the hostel-promoted pub crawl. Got in at 5 a.m. last night and woke at 2 p.m. today. I was out with two blokes from Newcastle and as the geordies   say 'I was mortal'. We all were, three bottles of Thai whiskey saw to that!

Had a chilled one today. Went to a part of Bangkok called Siam Square which is the most 'western' area I have so far seen. It had a shopping mall, western clothes shops, coffee shops and cinemas. Had spicy chicken noodles with suateed garlic and onion with basil. Yum! Will miss Thai food when I leave. I also went to the Bangkok Art and Culture centre which was very interesting. I had my portrait drawn (its in the next post) and and then wandered around a bit more before heading back to Silom. It was the Sky Train I took from Silom to Siam and back, and the views over the city were as amazing as you might imagine. Sorry no photos, left my camera at home.

Going to try and take it easy tonight (where have I heard that before!!)...
