I have arrived!

landed in Bangkok at around 7.30am this morning, the flights were exhausting but the films made it pass by quicker (all 4 of them). On the first leg of the flight the seat next to me was empty which in some ways was bad as i didnt get to make a friend but then on the other hand i had lots of lovely legroom so every cloud! Although the man sat in the middle seat tried to make it as obvious as possible that he thought it was unfair that i got 2 seats for the price of one... aka 2 blankets, 2 pillows, 2 tv screens.. but i wasnt complaining. Then on the second bit of the flight i was sat next to a lady with her little boy but they didnt really speak english so i resorted to more films and a bit of sleep. The taxi ride from the airport was HORRIFIC traffic here is crazy. and it made me feel really nauseous because it was so stop-start. so that took about 50mins and then arrived at the Hotel which is actually really nice! i had about 8 hours to kill so i decided to have a quick nap before i headed out for a bit of an explore, which is where i'm at at the moment on todays schedule. at 6pm i have a group meeting followed by a 'thai supper' which should be interesting seeing as i have completey lost my apetite thanks to the anti-malarials. Weather is humid and sticky, i am a sweaty betty but theres air con in my room which is good. just been to a convenience store to buy some washing detergent which cost about 45bhat but the smallest note i had was 500 which i assume is about the same as buying some thing for 4 quid with a 50 pound note. needless to say they werent too impressed. also have been approached by men trying to take me on tours of the city on their tuk tuks but ive been told this is a rip off so have avoided those. looking forward to meeting the rest of my group later. have taken a few photos, will upload when i have worked out properly how to do it. so anyway just to let you all know i have arived safe and am fine although i have alot of adapting to do. Miss you all love you all x
