Final Stop... Bangkok, Thailand, SE Asia

Back to Bangkok one final time to catch my flight home to London. After 9 amazing months, it was time to get back to reality, find a job and settle back down to life in the UK. Before that though I had 1 final night and day left.

Amazingly, by pure coincidence with timing, Johno, Caroline and Kelly - aka Paddy & Murphy (check out my 'Team Brasilia' photos on my blog) were also in Bangkok over this time. I was absolutely thrilled to be spending my last days with great friends that I had made nearly 9 months ago at the very start of my trip. Having met them in Brazil, I had managed to hook up with Johno in Buenos Aires, Taupo, Sydney and now Bangkok and my Irish lassies in Buenos Aires and twice in Sydney and again now in Bangkok.

Johno and I spent my last night drinking Chang beer and lots of buckets on Khao San Road, then meeting up with the girls once they had landed in Bangkok that very night. The next day was spent catching up with eachother until the moment came when I had to board the Airport Express bus.

So, 'all good things must come to an end' and I would say 'good' is a massive understatement. I had an absolutely wicked time, have seen some amazing places, experienced wonderful cultures and met brilliant people. Lots of awesome memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life plus thousands of photos should I ever need reminding of how lucky I am to have done such a thing. So, for now it's back to the grind stone in not so sunny England. Looking forward to catching up with all my family and friends.
