adventures of thailand

forgot to mention in my previous post haha. there's tonnes of adventures happening in thailand.

Day1
We landed at the airport, took a coach to the coach stand at khao san, only to find no one there to pick us up. After much debate, we decided to try to navigate our way to villa cha cha with our gigantic luggage in tow. Walk walk walk... thinking what to do if it's a scam... then the volunteers appeared. they were late. haha

Took a exhilarating tuk tuk ride to the grand palace. laughed all the way there, cos it's really amusing how the tuk tuk bashes its way through the traffic at high speed. haha.

Went to shop till we drop at platinum.

Day 2
Conference: Gawad Kerlinga, Street children in Mongolia

visited MBK and siam street

Day 3
Conference: Street Kids in M'sia, Poverty in Myanmar

Dinner at Central mall. shopping at suan loom night market

Day 4
Conference: Sustainable project for poverty stricken nations, child exploitation

Dinner at the River Bar (extremely good ambience!!), shopping at patpong. Patpong was really an eye-opening experience. An apt illustration of the situation on prostitution presented at the conference the morning. million times more notorious than geylang.

Day 5
Conference: Volunteerism, stateless children and women.

Dinner at restaurant near khao san road, shopping along khao san. AND i ATE A WORM (goodness gracious me!). I actually gave in to my curiosity. chilling out at a bar with delegates.

Day 6
Shopping at chatuchat market. Head to air port and had a super adventurous night man.

Day 7
Home sweet home. Despite some hiccups, we are finally home :)
