I am hanging around in Bangkok for a few days, resting up after a visit from my pal from back home. Good to see someone from the real world and talk about house prices and carpets (only kidding, Jay!).

Quite a few 'overland' bikers about here. Well done everyone. Can't remember the last time I had a good jaw about aluminium boxes. There's talk of a wander down to Ko Chang for a sit on the beach for Xmas, so we'll see how that works out.

Thailands been really different from my experience so far in Asia. Wow, there really are a lot of white folks about here! Good though. Easy to do stuff. Looking forward to exploring the north and getting into Laos and Cambodia after Xmas.
