Welcome to the jungle

The time finally came where we had to leave our beach haven and return to the madness of Bangkok. We initiated ourselves back into city life by heading to Khoa San Road – the center of the backpackers universe. By dusk, the place is already crawling with people, and the pubs and bars are gearing up for the night’s festivities. Some even set up right on the street, offering deals like “60B for a really strong cocktail” (that’s $1.50). At one point we noticed a commotion going on and a crowd beginning to gather around one particular woman. Was she a Thai celebrity, we wondered? We quickly learned that she was Miss Canada – the current Miss Universe – making her way around the city with her entourage closely following.
