Thailand tuk tuk :)

               

The things to do on the first day

 

Soooo, today is my first day I've set foot on Thailand. Although I actually arrived here in the middle of the night making that time the first night I've set foot in Thailand. Right now I'm staying at this nice hotel that had large marble pillars and grand staircases, it even had a grand piano in the lobby which I was dying to play. They even served these small treats in our room that tasted like… colourful smoke, it’s the best metaphorical way to describe the taste since the flavor was literally bursting each tastebud in it’s colourful way. It made me feel like I was taking drugs. Strangely…

  So this morning, we woke up, and the first thoughts that came to mind was food. We didn’t know any restaurants in the area (apart from McDonalds, but we knew that if we took my younger brother there, he would ask to eat there every morning) so we walked for a long time, following a brick path that could hopefully lead us to a meal. Eventually we found a poster advertising a restaurant up the stairs, we immediately decided to eat there.

Thai food isn’t much to my liking and my bro seemed to match my opinion but instead decided to express it more clearer and louder. Throughout the whole meal, he constantly rejected all the food on the table, even though we didn't offer him. And if mum tried to ''force feed' him any, he would instantly demand ice cream in his 'menacing' tone, but it just made us laugh and that him more angrier.

After the usual breakfast phase, we decided to explore a little. The transport in Thailand was one of my personal highlights, we rode on ‘tuk tuk’s which are probably known better to you by the name ‘rickshaws’. These vehicles are like taxis with 3 wheels and no doors or windows, just open spaces. I disliked walking long distances so a ride in one of these were more enjoyable than expected.

 

The scenary would probably be more enjoyable riding these vehicles if the atmosphere was less polluted. I’m guessing that Thailand doesn’t an economic standard as high as Australia, the streets and buildings looked pretty run down in some areas in town. But most of the people we met were able to speak English, even the tuk tuk drivers. In the end we didn’t really go anywhere, we only went out on the occasion for food. The rest of the hours were spent lazing in the hotel room. My bro especially was stuck in the hotel because he discovered Cartoon Network on the TV in our room. Aaaand that concludes the first day in Thailand. Definitely not the most exciting first day, but I knew that my parents had more places in mind where they could drag us to.
