Bangkok Has Them Now

Last time we were in Bangkok, things got a little bit out of hand. We thought it about time to make the return visit for a rematch.

How exactly would those dragon lined suits bought in an red-bull induced hangover turn out?
Is a Mulberry bag really available for £10?
Can Sarah drink more than her own height in beer?

So, with our flight to Sydney looming on the horizon, and the backpacks of two professional workers full to the brim with only flip flops, shorts and t-shirts - we got shopping. It turns out Bangkok is the shopping capital of the world, the weekend market being a labyrinth of oddities, and the malls (especially MBK) an absolute treasure trove of LCD TVs, iPhones, trainers and everything else. After buying an extra backpack to hopefully pass as "Carry On" by Qantas, we stocked up.

Here's the suits! Note the fantastic blue dragons, penned in with some vibrant white trim against the backdrop of that fabulous pink check shirt. Did I really choose those colours? Oh, that's my signature is it? Right.

Smart at last!

Sarah's suit and dress turned out really well too. Just need to get jobs to wear these things to now!

She should probably tuck her shirt in!

To celebrate what was the most intense shopping trip of our lives, we thought some more drinks would soothe our frazzled minds. Being a spritely 27 years old, we decided to go to the one bar in town that didn't demand ID...

Thank goodness for that

And our last cheap beer of the trip, before we enter the inflated world of the Aussie mining boom! Cheers!

We've loved the beer here!

Thanks Asia - you've been a fickle little place that's tested us a bit, but you've showed us amazing treats along a journey of food, sights, drinks and jaw-dropping scenery. We've loved it!

One last bucket

Next stop for our Antipodean adventure...
