So we just checked into our hostel in Bangkok. It’s called the Smile Society. So far so good, I think it’s about $15 USD a night per person, there’s breakfast and wifi included. We’ll be staying here for 3 days and moving on to Laos.
The trip here went by super fast with perfect timing each way. We got to the bus station which was part of a mall in HK. Spent about 30 min walking around looking for it and turns out we walked right past it. Waited only 15 min and we left the bus station for Shenzhen.
We got to the border and it took about 45 min to get through customs and we were back on a bus to the airport.
We had a really hard time finding the ticket desk at the airport because it was in a different building than where we were dropped off and literally ran through the terminal twice before some random guy was running along with us and asked if we were going to bangkok too lol
I’m a little upset I won’t be spending more than a total of 10 hours in China when I went through all this trouble to get a visa for it.
I literally knocked out once we got on the plane. It’s about a 2.5 hr plane ride from Shenzhen to Bangkok. I woke up once, mid-flight when a guy in front of me was watching transformers at full blast on his ipad without speakers.
Right now in my wallet I have 3 different currencies and we’ll be exchanging to get 2 more during our trip.
We are staying at the Smile Society and it is 5am here, so far so good, it’s very clean, shared bathrooms on the floors, and basically enough room for 3 beds and suitcases.
I’m looking forward to 90f weather tomorrow. I have a bunch of pictures I haven’t photoshopped yet so I will do that when I wake up tomorrow since I slept most of the way here.
*Sidenote* I’ve been doing a few posts a day late and then changing the post date, although I’m on top of posting pretty often, I feel like the longer I wait, the poorer the quality of the post, so I’ll do a better job of posting as soon as possible even if it’s just a quick few sentences with a picture.
