Thailand, the land of smiles. I came to Thailand on holiday a few years back and completely fell in love with the country and vowed to myself to return soon. After a lovely, smooth flight I arrived at Bangkok airport with my tightly stuffed backpack ready to start my new journey. The volunteer manager, Nam, was waiting for me at the airport. It was great to be greeted by a friendly face. With my fellow volunteer also safely arrived, we set off for our hotel on Khao San Road. For those that will have experienced it, I am sure that you will agree that Khao San Road is bursting with energy and there is plenty of hustle and bustle.
My new friend, American volunteer, Maryam and I headed straight out to explore the market's charms. We were starving and the aroma of pad thai was too good to resist! We walked around the clothing and gift stalls and tried our hand at the traditional haggle.
We also met fellow Australian volunteer, Sarah. Over refreshments and nibbles, the three of us quickly became friends! We had early nights, eagerly anticipating our next day - meeting the other volunteers and having our tour of Bangkok.
