We Had our first full day here today and went to the oldest park in bankok, lumphini park, where instead of having ducks they had massive monitor lizards... Explains the lack of ducks. There was also lots of big Karp in the lakes and nice pavilions. Good place to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the city.
After a sweaty stroll around the park we went to find something to eat, found one restaurant that looked popular with the locals so we went in sat down and got a menu but then every waiter ignored us when we tried to get their attention - we walked out. Found a good shopping area with lots of street food, we had some tempura shrimp, squid and soft shell crab for 40baht which is about 90p! Also got some street waffles for 10baht each one with coconut and one with sweet corn inside, then we got some weird drinks with sago apple jelly balls and cubes in which was pretty gross.
We hopped on the sky train back to the hostel then popped out for tea a bit later, James had some flat huge noodles with stir fried chicken and veg and I had pad thai with shrimp (prawns) which comes wrapped in an egg blanket over here.
Going to get the sleeper train and ferry to koh phangan tomorrow night, hopefully the weather will stay nice, there was a thunder storm this morning but we slept through most of it.
Hope the weather is getting nice for you all back home
Love from Poppy & James xx
