The last couple of days weren't particularly eventful. Got the plane to Thailand and went to the Kho San Road area to buy some cheap stuff like t-shirts, contact lenses (they are a third of the price I pay in England!) and souvenirs etc. before heading off to the Silom area for my final day away. I went to Chinatown, which is just crammed full of market stalls selling cheap fake designer stuff (Gucci bag for £5 anyone?) then went to Thurmit Temple to see a 3m tall Buddha statue made of solid gold. That night I went to a huge night market, which was also in the middle of the red light district...a very strange experience!!
My flight back was delayed a couple of hours which made the 12 hour journey home even more boring...but I made it! Arrived back in England late last night (Thursday) and have slept...lots!! I can't believe my year (and a bit) of travelling is over. I have LOVED every minute of it...even when things didn't go as expected! All the countries I've visited have been amazing in lots of different ways and I'd definitely recommend travel to any of them. This will be my last year-out related post. I hope you have all enjoyed reading this blog as much as I have enjoyed writing it and look forward to seeing some of you soon.
Take it easy,
