Not much happening today. We go to Chatuchak market - 1800 stalls and about 1000 pickpockets - puts St. Georges to shame anyway!! So its rucksacks on the front and the bargain hunt begins. Shouldn't ever come to Bangkok with a full rucksack! We avoid anything getting nicked and head into town. We stumble across Siam Ocean World so to kill time we go look at fish. We just spend the rest of the day messing around and decide to go to Koh San Blackpool road for one last trip. The highlight of the day is learning England are going home....ha ha ha.

Monday 3rd July
Air Asia hostesses rule!! We get a guest house booked before the tourist snipers at the airport get us, book us a place, organise a trek and set a date for our wedding!! 1 hour flight or 15 hour train - no contest. Flying in is great, theres so much jungle you can barely see any houses amongst it. The guest house picks us up along with another irish dude - Pierce. We all sign up for a trek along with 4 more lovely girls from Dublin (or there abouts) - Sarah, Susie,
Laura, Adele. So its 8 Irish and 3 Germans on the trek - Jenny, Chantelle and Yanina. We meet our guide and I'll never forget his name - Doh! We get a shopping list from Doh and off to the night markets. 4 in each Tuk Tuk and we had 2 in the front - I think we can do better than that. Emmet almost robbed a woman blind for shoes. She started with 1800 baht and he got her down to 950. Best bargaining yet!! Finish off with a few beers with the girls and an early enough night, early start tomorrow and all that.
