I arrived in Bangkok after my 15 hour flight which was actually quite good as I had 2 seats next to me free and even though I didn't spread out across them all at least it meant no one bothering me. The stop off in Mumbai was also better than expected as there wasnt much of a wait getting through all the checks :)
In Bangkok I stayed on Khao San Road where I met up with Moni and we went to see some of my old friends and we had a normal partying night to welcome me back. The next day we went out to a local market to buy some presents for Moni's family as is the Thai tradition when you meet them. I think there were about 15 gifts in total for different family members but they were all quite inexpensive items of clothes and only cost £20-30 in total. Later that evening we caught a bus which takes about 8 or so hours but there was quite a bit of waiting as we wanted to arrive at Moni's family house around 6am when everyone is waking up.
I don't want to bore everyone with too long a story so I will finish this post with I am here at Moni's family home and our new house.
Thought you were heading off the beach first before going to the village? Sounds like it's been fun so far anyway, good to see the tradition of a first night on Khao San Road was stuck too! :)
