Day 10:
Bangkok to the beach
(I like alliteration today)
p.p.p.p.p.p.p.p
All night in Bangkok it rained and we had been caught in it, therefore I woke up craving pancakes (hint hint). There are loads of little stalls on wheels that normally sell these thin crispy pancake type treats but after wandering around I found no such delicious breakfast. I settled for a little Thai place and some scrambled eggs. nom nom.
Then we decided to visit the royal palace. There are a lot of locals who often surround the palace telling you that either: the palace is closed, you are wearing inappropriate clothing (too slutty!), to use the other entrance... etc... this is all a lie! I don't really know why they say it, but the palace is open daily from about 9-3 and there are clothes you can hire inside in order to walk around the palace. This is where Josh got his sexy trousers from:

The palace is really stunning inside and the most elaborate thing evverrrrrr. Also, even though it looks a bit dreary in the photos that's only because of all the rain the night before and it was still freakishly hot.
We had to catch a bus that evening to Koh Phangan (excitiiing) and so our day was kind of cut short. I managed to squeeze in a little pancake fun just before - banana and chocolate pancakes huzzaaah - and then we picked up supplies and headed to catch our coach. (This is where my tenuous link to pirates comes in... the film showing on the bus was Pirates of the Caribbean.) Anyways, we met a lovely lad called Dom and also had FRONT ROW SEATS... which for leggy Josh means we actually had a good night sleep with excess leg room. However, we were still woken up at 5am when we arrived at the port and waiting to board a high speed boat.
Dom had brought rum and beers for this little trip and it was hilarious seeing him tuck in at 5am. We also met the lovely Maddie whilst watching the sunrise!
The sun shining also meant I was ridiculously burnt on the boat.
Then we arrived to Koh Phangan our little slice of paradise... although technically that's day 11! (I'm so lame)
