Bangkok

01.02.
After checking in at the hotel, we went for a walk to search for a place where we can have dinner. We took a side street in the hope that it won't be so crowded as the main road but it was actually full of thai women waiting for customers. we landed in the emporium shopping mall and ate at a nice restaurant in the food court. i had a tofu soup with egg; it was good...but too much. While eating I felt i'm being attacked by the tiredness...I was so tired, I couldn't chew anymore. After we finished eating, we walked back to the hotel and went to bed at 21 o'clock.

Even though we woke up in the middle of night, we still had a very good sleep. The bed was fantastic! We went for breakfast at the hotel and we had to check out until 12 o'clock. Afterwards we took a taxi to suk11 hoping to find a free room...but no. the hostel was overbooked, so we bought a juice, went online and searched for hotels. In half an hour we found one, in the same street just few meters away. After checking in, we wanted to do some shopping. we bought a daily ticket for the sky train went to siam shopping center, the biggest mall in bangkok. and what did I find? zara, mango, esprit and so on! no, thank you! the prices were as high as in germany so i won't carry stuff from here to germany when i can buy it there for the same price. after our big "shopping" we wanted to go to china town, to make a photo of the city from above. We got a bit lost after getting off the metro...and when we were finally on the right track, a "friendly" local advised us not to go there because of the mafia, it's dangerous...blah blah. we were a bit unsure about what we should do so we turned around and went to a thai massage instead, near the hotel. it was very good! even though i felt very relaxed I couldn't fall asleep...but I just got used to it in time...

We made a plan the evening before, so we knew what we wanted to do. In order to get to a pier on the river shore we took the sky train. when we got off, we realized we need a bigger SD card to be able to make as many photoes as possible. so...we entered the closest shopping center. the search for an sd card ended in shopping some clothes for myself. the prices there were realative good. and no european labels. We took a boat to Wat Pho, visited the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, made so photoes. Then took the boat to China Town hoping to celebrate New Year's Eve. The streets were full. People were standing on both sides of the
main road, so we thought a parade or something will take place there. After waiting a bit, we decided to go eat in one of the restaurants. I hate air conditioning. It was sooo cold there, that i was happy when i finished my meal i could finally go outside. People were still waiting...so we were glad we did not miss anything. Then suddenly 2 or 3 cars came with some important personalities (among them the Chinese prime-minister as I heard people talking) and in the next minute (after the cars passed) everybody started leaving. it was a huuuuuuge crowd of people. uff...I wanted to get out of there as well...so we entered a side street. but that was crowded too. we made photos and slowly we were again on our way to the metro station. it was a full day and by the time we got to our hotel i was exhausted. it's no wonder, i slept like a baby.

After a good night sleep we checked out of the 2nd hotel at around 12 o'clock. we left our bag at the hotel and go out to eat. When we returned, the reception called for a taxi and there we were...on our way to Hua Hin.
