I didn't waste the time though. I've put together a 'budget tracker' to keep my spending on course. It was a bit scary to find out that I was well overspent for the four days so far. That said, a big expense are the flights to and from India and the Indian visa, accounting for some £210. I can't I imagine that I'll be spending wildly in Chaing Mai or Nepal so hopefully it will soon be back on plan. It's rather like being in sales again and measuring performance against target.
It must have been nearly five o'clock in the morning when I finally drifted off to sleep. No wonder that I didn't actually open my eyes till midday.
After a bit of Internet work looking at potential volunteer work in Nepal and potential accommodation in India, I showered and headed out. On the way back from the Indian embassy yesterday I had noticed an interesting monument in remembrance of the October 14th Massacre where Thai students stood up against the army in a effort to secure constitutional reform. Sounds familiar!
The remembrance garden is just across the road from Khaosan and the story of the 10 days that led up to the massacre made interesting reading.
Chicken fried rice for lunch and than another wander. I'm actually looking forward to leaving Bangkok. It's really sprawling and I've visited most of the major sights on previous trips. I don't have a penchant for big cities....
