We spent 2 nights on the Khao San Road in Bangkok and 3 on Saigon's rather less brash equivalent, Pham Ngu Lao. After India both Thailand and Vietnam seem cool, clean and organised! Bangkok felt like a good excuse to have a few beers and enjoy being a western tourist. My friend Tim was kind enough to take us to a rooftop bar on the 61st floor of the Banyan Tree hotel: NYC eat your heart out! It was nice to leave behind the essex girls and pikeys in Bangkok though, and arrive Vietnam. I came to Saigon 7 years ago and it appears to have developed a lot in that time and seems quite prosperous, will have to see if the same is true for the rest of the country. We are heading to an island (Con Dao) tomorrow, hoping to use the dive mask and snorkels we've been dragging around! Can't wait to see the rest of the country either!
