First day in Bangkok...

Hey guys! It's 7:40 am here. Just woke up from an incredible first day in Bangkok. The humidity is like no other here. We walked out of the airport and it hit us directly in the face. I didn't really mind it after a few minutes. Anyways, we needed to get to the area we were looking for "Kao San." We took a shuttle from the airport to the public transportation center and then to Kao San (I'll put a pic up) . We walked down the street and found a place to stay for the first night and got settled in. Now it was time to explore! We walked out of our rooms into chaos lol. The street was just how I Imagined it (picture). We walked further around Bangkok and after a couple hours it started to down pour on us. We walked around a central park area and a heavily armed military head quarters before we got out of the rain. After sitting down for a while we met a man inside a small building working with a printing press. He invited us inside and showed us his craft. I'll never forget this man. So genuinely nice. He took two soaked white Americans inside for 30 minutes while we watched him go to work (picture). Saved us from the rain. Upon leaving we thanked him and went on our way...hungry! We walked in a small 7 eleven and grabbed a couple local Thai beers and a water and sat down at a table on the side of the street to have a drink (lol even though we were hungry). What happens next was perfect timing. Mind you it's dark out and began raining again. A man and lady were cooking food outside on the street to sell (pic). They made us a hit meal that I'll never forget. It was a soup type meal with some type of cooked fish in it. We told them not too spicy but I still almost died. We finished eating, thanked them and walked through an outdoors market on our walk home. Got home around 9 pm and were both passes out by 9:30. It was an incredible first day to say the least. Its time to get up and shower to see what today brings. Until next time...love
