Kind of. Someone suddenly had the brilliant idea of putting a large screen on the other side of the street from our hotel. The sales women in Khaosa Road took a break from their usual activity, (selling crap to tourists that is), having a smoke and a beer, enjoying Liverpool beat Bolton.

Leaving the air condition on for 5 days on 16 degrees celcius, turned out to be one of those bad ideas…… Now it is all filled up with ice…… Luckily it’s our last night at the Rikka Inn.

Our last day in Bangkok is coming to an end. Admiring the chaos of Khaosan Road from the roof top of our hotel :-)

This is by far the coolest bar I have ever been in. Big Ups to Mr. Hauge for the advice.

Sitting at a sidewalk café, this newly wed couple sat down at the table next to us. Shooting your wedding pictures at a café might be a little strange to us, but apparently kinda normal here….. :)

On the 6th of December the king of Thailand will be 80 years old. The preparation for the party has started.

We are at Rajadamnern Stadium watching Thai boxing matches…… 10 of them actually….. The first match ended in a serious knock out, resulting in the looser leaving the ring on a stretcher. We are, as all the other tourists, seatet Ringside :-)

Literally stumbled across this strange little bar just outside Khaosan road. Only Thai people listening to a cover band we think is playing Britpop… Hard to tell really…… Next stop was a football pub where we watched Rosenborg being butchered…… Not good.

Back in the Bangkok traffic. Quite a difference from the Saigon motor bike mayhem.

We are flying a Boeing 747-400 from Saigon to Bangkok with Air France. Very interesting entertainment system. Ended up watching “Transformers”, or half of it that is.:-)

After a quick breakfast at the Bangkok’s North-western bus station’s food court, we are on our way to the Cambodian boarder. Great bus, in which we have been seated in the back because the women working on the bus thought we had very long legs, and would not fit anywhere else. If it wasn’t for one extremely noisy kid that has been screaming non-stop for the first hour of this ride, it would be a very pleasant one.

Relaxing at the Hotel rooftop. Turns out there is a pool here. Ok as when it is cloudy, but extremely hot when there is a moment of clear sky. Guess we should not complain after all……

What does not kill you only makes you stronger…… I am however not quite sure when it comes to this new malaria medicine of mine…… Fucking Russians!!!

Since the Russians stole my lenses from my checked in baggage, I have bought new ones. My Malaria medication however, seems to be a bit of a problem.

A man has climbed to the top of the Statue of Democracy in the middle of Bangkok, and has, for four hours, been protesting against the government, shouting through his loudspeaker.

We just stumble upon a band playing rock music. Notice the couple just in front of us. Typical Bangkok-couple. He: White. Midfifties. Bold. She: Asian. Early twenties. Not bold. A sick sick world.

After passing out on the bed for 3 hours, we are thrown out in the Bangkok By Night Jungle. So far, this city is much more gentle than I feared.

Looks like we are heading towards the badass? Backpacker district of Khao San. Since we are not really badass backpackers, I’m a little uncertain how this will end up :-)
