Bangkok day 3

Today we had to make sure that whatever we do we must be at the bus pick up point at 6pm as we booked sleeping overnight bus to Chang Mai. Thankfully we finally had a chance to rest in the morning as unlike in any other hostel I stayed in (and I can think of right now) the check out was at 12 rather than 10am. As some of you requested the information, my morning (until late afternoon) started with few visits to the toilet, maybe it wasn't an ill stomach or diarrhea yet, but I think recent intake of large amount of watermelons, mango smoothies and coconut waters had its effect ;)

After checking out we decided to try local massage offers. I got 1h Thai massage (which was nothing close to relaxing, I had elbows, knees and feet of a tiny but such a strong Thai woman all over me and at the end all bones and spine was cracking) and Darwin had 15 min fish pedicure and 30 min feet and neck massage. All above didn't even cost us £10.


After massages which took some time, we went in the search of recommended by Kevin pad Thai place named by some 'the best pad Thai in Bangkok'. Because our google maps on iPhone could only show the names of the streets in Thai language, after wandering around for almost 1h and asking locals who didn't have a clue where is the address we pointed, we simply didn't have more time to search for it as it was getting close to 6pm and we had to give up. The cool thing about this search was that we got to discover a nice area with lots of food stalls which you can tell is not very popular between tourists which means is created by locals for locals and this is where you can experience a real culture. Also, we took a ride with tuk tuk to take us to the bus pick up point from where we begun our 12h journey up to the north of Thailand.
