After arriving at the Bangkok airport at noon, I waited a couple hours for the Island TEFL pickup at 2 and we were in our way to the Sudapalace hotel. A brief orientation later, our group, consisting of about 75, began to wander around the area in small pairs. 7-11s are a huge franchise here, the place to get bottled water.
Another girl an I wandered around in need of the infamous street food, I ended up getting vegetarian noodles for 25 baht, which ends up being a little less than a dollar, USD.
Day 2
Day 1 of the course of a 6 day stay. We briefly went over what we would e doing, pay, and expectations. Felt like I was in college again. After a few hours, we all went to one of the worlds largest street market, Chatuchak Market, just a few miles away. It reminded me so much of the street markets in Cambodia and Vietnam, except much larger.
A group of 6 of us wandered around the market and I finally found what I've been looking for this entire time, Thai iced tea! I had 2. So much better than the in the states.
All in all, I love Thailand even more than I thought I would.
6 of us even went to C-mart, a Thai version of a Walmart, and bought a Thai phone for 490 baht, about $15 USD. It's a jFone which I found funny, even more so, we all got the same phone.
Wifi is spotty in some areas, but now I have a Thai phone, it'll be a lot easier to stay in contact.
Nice pics!!!!
