March 16th bangkok

We found a new hostel, this time we made sure to inspect the room before checking in!

Todays mission was to sort out our flights to Kathmandu. The only benefit of being on Ko San road is the amount of travel agents located there so we spent a couple of hours visiting each one trying to get the best deal.

We had two options. Leave tomorrow and take a 16hour stop over in Bangladesh or wait until Monday and fly direct to Kathmandu. We didn't want to spend any more time than necessary in Ko San so we opted for the stop over flight...we leave tomorrow :)

We were unsure of any safe/relaxing haven in the city so we headed for the MBK shopping complex. We went to the cinema there, it was so so nice. Sitting in that box we could have easily been at home, it was a nice feeling. The cinema was very superistic in style and I have to say the seats were one of the most comfortable I've ever sat on!!

We watched Big Miracle, it's a film about wales trapped beneath the ice in the artic. It was a little cheesy but still enjoyable. It was also in English with Thai subtitles so it suited us perfectly!

Afterwards, we went guitar shopping. Luke has been lost without his instruments since leaving. He got a beautiful acoustic in the only music shop in the centre, for 2000baht (€50) and it sounds like a dream!
