We took the boat up river to check out Khao San rd. We wanted to see what the backpacker area, made famous in the opening scenes of the movie "The Beach", was all about. It was realy cool, actually it was quite hot but you know what I mean. There are a few streets surrounding the main rd that are full of markets, open air pubs and restaurants. We had a great time just wandering around exploring. Sadly the Bangladesh refugees selling tailored suits have taken quite a hold in the area, also you constantly hear the sound of chirping wooden frog sales women, I got a picture of a group of them having a break, they look quite cute in their outfits and hats.
The highlight of the day was a fish spa. We had a 15 minute session. The first few minutes are intense tickling until you get used to it. Our feet have never looked so clean and they feel so light afterward.
We got a tuk tuk home and treated ourselves to a 1/2 hour Thai foot massage, it was a fantastic way to finish the day, and a great deal at 100 baht, about $4.
