It smells funny here. We're in this district that is noted for being popular among backpackers and other travellers. It is loud, crowded, and has a billion street vendors fighting for you attention and money. Not exactly our scene, but at least there is food, other travellers, and a bed to sleep in.
Our hotel is "mid-range" and we booked it in advance so we'd have a few days to relax when we first got here. It cost $70 american a night, and it's crappier than a Motel 6. I don't know why, but I was surprised. Fortunately, I have seen no bugs and no overt filth, so that's good. The beds (yes, we each have a twin bed) are hard as a rock (mom, you'd love it), as are the pillows. We did, however, get a good night's sleep of 10 hours last night, followed by 3 hours of nap after breakfast. We had to catch up - we were awake for 24 hours!
We've walked the strip today: Khao San Road (famous road) and snapped a couple pics. There are fun nick-nacks to buy here, but we have no room in our packs (plus we probably don't need any crap anyway), so oh well.
We have this hotel tonight (Saturday night) and Sunday night, and will go elsewhere (to be determined) on Monday. Thank god this keyboard has the roman alphabet. Yeay for travel!
