We made it safe and sound to Bangkok yesterday morning --- Singapore Airlines rocks!! The flight attendents are so pretty and so helpful. You get hot towels at the beginning and end, on demand tv and movies, and yummy food! Anyways we got to our amazing guesthouse right off of Kao San Road, the main backpacker area. The place we were staying at was called Thai Cosy and it was sooo awesome...such friendly staff -- so friendly and hospitable!
Then we grabbed some great cheap-cheap thai food off of kao san and checked what was up for grabs on the street....soooo much stuff! But we also wanted to get some clothing tailor made so we went to a tailor and got measurements taken, picked styles and colors etc. I got 2 100% wool/cashmere suits + shirts + skirts and i'm excited for my first fitting! A bit pricey but i figure its an investment for my future!! Then we went back to kao san and started shopping...and shopping....and shopping!! The stuff is all really tiny which is wicked because i fit in it all!! It is really hard to say no to things that work out to be 3 bucks a pop but i have to try and restrain myself because of lack of luggage room!! It doesnt help that my shopping mantra has become "WWND"...(What would Naila do) inspired by my favorite shopaholic cousin. So when i'm faced with a difficult decision (to buy or not to by) I ask myself WWND and I hear in my head her voice "just gett ittttt". But thats the only decision that comes out of the WWND method and i'm not sure how healthy that is....Yes my name is Meena and I am a Shopaholic. Admitting is the first step, so I think i'm doing great!!
This morning we flew Air Asia to Surat Thani and then took a Bus and Boat to Ko Pha Ngan which is where we are now. I am sooo suprised we found accomidations, in a hotel at the port no less. We were really thinking we wouldnt make it for the Full Moon Party tonight as all Accomidations were booked out on the beach! But we are going to taxi it from here, and we are in a hotel away from the beach so it is a lot safer. The only problem is this huge beatle bug cockroach mutant i saw crawling on the bathrooom floor as i was trying to take a shower, after which i turned off the water and ran screeching downstairs to this internet cafe to get moral support from Jenn and Ioana!! I mean i can do small bugs but big mutant ones...no way!
