I am not best pleased. I had a sleepless night; was up at 0630; spent 11 hours travelling, on five different forms of transport; followed by AN HOUR traipsing around with my pack on looking for somewhere to stay in Banglamphu, Bangkok.

All I wanted was a single room with bath for a reasonble price - not so much to ask, is it? After a dozen or more places I began to lose the will to live, and settled for this TINY room, that is MEANT TO BE A FRIGGING DOUBLE!!!! The only way you could get two packs in there is by blocking the door - HELLO, FIRE HAZARD!! And it's twice the price I usually pay. What a joke.

On the bright side, I did check in just before it began pissing it down, which is something. Also It is possible to save time in this hovel of a room, by having a shit and a shower simultaneously, as the bathroom is smaller than your average cupboard.

Ah, the joys of backpacking!
