Bangkok
I arrived in Bangkok one day late and I enjoyed cycling from the airport the 46 km to downtown even after two nights of miserable very little sleep. I was driving on the highway in the morning and people were polite, no honking, no cutting, no unsuspected turns or whatever so far. I also finally met Carlos downtown who already got to know the city. We stayed a couple of days and even this was dangerous for financial terms. Things here are cheaper, especially electronic equipment.. We’ve been to the biggest malls in my life, or actually mall complexes, one next to the other, one fancier than the other. Bangkok is an impulsive city, people friendly and quite used to tourists. Chinatown was impressing with all the light and different smells again. Many buddhistic temples and pagodes loll in the blue sky. I will pass there again anyway on my way back from my unexpected detour to Laos and Cambodia.
Carlos met one more German cyclist in Nepal and he was also with us in Bangkok. We decided to go north to Laos, where we would head somehow to Cambodia and from then on coastline and some islands till Singapore.
