Bangkok

So we arrived in Bangkok after a long oul flight. Didnt seem that strange in the airport, slightly nervy coming up towards immigration, signs all around said "We love our King"...Got through immigration without any hassle, didnt even check our ongoing flights. We done a quick check on the bags before heading through customs, to make sure we hadn't picked up any presents along the way.
Once we got through there, we were mobbed by people trying to sell us limo rides, taxi rides, mini bus services and all sorts of things. It was really frustrating, we tried to make our way out to a taxi rank but got mobbed so much that we finally gave into one of them and took a private taxi into the heart of Bangkok to find some accommodation.
Along the way, we saw some interesting sights including a lot of Police which was reassuring, but as expected, they drove like maniacs, in between lanes, on the hard shoulder, and even down the wrong side of the road.
