we have stumbled into thailand today and, to be honest, i am quite glad to leave bali behind us....it has it's charms - friendly people and interesting scenery (when you get out of kuta town) but i found that i could not have taken too much more of kuta itself - the humidity, the rain, the hassle of the storekeepers...if we were to go back we would stay elsewhere...and if we were to go back it would be with plenty of money and an empty suitcase to stock up on D&G and Jimmy Choo handbags and quicksilver shorts....
I do try to be openminded about the places we visit and i am aware that i have travelled in western europe for many years - i know asia will be so very different and it is these differences that I am interested in discovering....but kuta (and i deliberately say kuta rather than bali...) just wasn't for me this time....
but now we are in thailand...in bangkok for less than 24hrs...apparently, according to the song, one night here makes a hard man humble....we'll see - it will definitely make us tired as we get up in the wee hours tomorrow and make our way to koh phangan....to white sandy beach and a little bungalow and a big, crazy, drunken party under a full moon...
stay tuned.... xxx
