We'd already arranged to travel back to Bangkok today, so after breakfast we just hung about the guest house - chatting with the other guests and playing frisbee. At just after 1pm our mini-bus arrived and we were soon on our way. We got back to Bangkok at just after 4pm and checked straight back into the Rambuttri Village. After storing our bags in our room and locking away the valuables, we hit the streets for a busy afternoon.

First, we bought ourselves some Pad Thai from one of the street vendors on the Khao San road - the food is AMAZING and just as good as any restaurant we've eaten in! Next, I decided something had to be done about my hair. I've not had it cut since October 16th - and that was the only time in almost a year. So, I did what any white wannabbe-rapper / K Fed loving bloke would do... and got it braided... ROCK ON! I've only done it to freak my Mum out when she arrives in Vietnam, but I kind of like it - it keeps my head loads cooler. Nikki won't tell me what she really thinks - she just laughs and calls me Cool-K (after Coolio and K Fed). Afterwards, on the way back to our hotel we stopped in a tailors and placed an order for a suit to be made. They took all my measurements and booked me in for my first fitting tomorrow.

This evening, we went for a walk in the opposite direction to the Khao San road and found a great little bar that sold cheap beer (the best kind) and was showing the film 'The Beach' so we went in. When it had finished, we stopped for some more food on the streets and then came home to bed... full, drunk and very, very happy!

Braids are only the start... I want DREADLOCKS next!
