Let the backpacking start in Thailand

Getting ready to fly from Shangai to Bangkok

There were 4 hours left to get on the plane and fly to Thailand where I was going to spend 3 weeks bacpacking in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Phi Phi and many more islands…

This was one of my dreams that was about to come true…I really needed to pinch myself to make sure that I wasn’t dreaming…

My bagpack, camera and huge laptop

How nice…There was a surprise waiting for me on the counter…I got this notice from my landord…Almost 50 USD for 2 months.

Surprise-pay the bill

Lonely Planet’s Thailand book, it was my favourite book during my trip…I knew the places that I wanted to visit but I didn’t plan strictly…I was gonna play by ear…I had been told a lot of negative stuff to avoid Bangkok like the protests againts the government…But, my friend who was living in Bangkok told me that things were not that bad…So, going to Thailand but not visiting Bangkok was not going to happen…
