Arrived safely and have found an internet cafe right next to where I'm staying. This keyboard is crazy... it's got about four symbols on each key but at least it's qwerty!

Very nice room, to stay in for my first night, so thanks very much for organising that Mum and Dad :) found it in the end.

Got chatting away to four very nice people on the way to Khao San road... but unfortunately none of them are staying for long. Couple are off to Cambodia, and one (very nice bloke) is staying in a hostel quite far away... but I'm bound to meet lots of other people. It's funny cos when you walk past a westener you're instantly friends... just because it's clear you're both in the same boat and happy to make friends :)

Best moment so far: walking 100 yards to the bus station I was hailed by two taxi drivers saying the bus takes hours and never turn up and taxt is cheaper, etc, etc. I know they'd try their best :) I clearly look lost and gullible.

Going for a complementary massage tonight :) bit random but looking forward to it :)
