We arrived in Bangkok and got a cab to our pre-booked hotel close to the Koh San road. We weren’t too shattered but the energetic cabby was a bit too much to handle! Liam was wearing the Vietnam cap and in his really limited English he tried to relay the message that yes he liked Vietnam, he was in the war and he liked shooting!! We weren’t going to push him when he dropped us in the general vicinity of the hotel and not outside the door as preferred….
I must say (Aileen) that I love Bangkok….so many people you meet on your travels or in life say how dirty and horrible it is but I reckon I must be a city girl at heart, I love the hustle and bustle! Unfortunately our one night in Bangkok was not spent sampling the delights of the KS road but rather a look into the pristine interior that was Bangkok Hospital! Liam had been suffering again since Cambodia but after an attempt to find a hospital in Nha Trang in Vietnam and coming across two pretty poor offerings (think people lying on floors) he had given up the hope of medical attention until we reached the westernised world again. It was painful for him and expensive for us (still trying to sort an insurance claim!) but we had a good night in the hotel with some cheap cans of Chang and some really trashy movies on HBO!
