We had a long but uneventful day of travel back to Bangkok from Battambang. The border was pretty scruffy, especially on the Cambodian side. Once we got into Thailand they told us that the bus was going right to Khao San road in Bangkok (the backpacker's ghetto where we stayed the first time) but this German couple put up a bit of a stink because they didn't want to go there so that suited us just fine because they negotiated with the driver to drop some of us off near a skytrain station. We decided we just couldn't handle Khao San road this time around and really had to reason to go back there since we had seen all the temples and attractions in that area anyways. We actually stayed at this really cool hotel called The Atlanta whose style has not changed since the 1960s so it's very funky. They had a pool in the back and a nice restaurant and lots of resident cats plus a very sweet little dog! So our last few days in Bangkok were pretty uneventful but it was just what we wanted. We swam in the pool, slept in, and generally enjoyed what the big city had to offer. Everything in Bangkok seemed so clean and modern after being in Cambodia.
So I guess that's it really! I have 10 days in Denmark to see the family and Dan will head home now and get started on some brush hogging I think! Can't wait to see you all soon and catch up!
Love from Hanna and Dan xoxo
