Thanks a ton for the tips! We're actually staying on Khao San Rd and it's dirt cheap enough as is I think. $10 a night for a nice room is ok for me! We're just heading off to Kho Chang Island tomorrow but we're going to shop like crazy on the friday and saturday when we get back so I'll be sure to check out those places you mentioned though I'm not much for buying pirated DVDs as I can do that much at home for free (minues the photocopied covers ;)). We've had it lucky so far with the street pad thai though but will be careful from here on in! Thanks again for the pointers and I will update with a tiger pic or two just for Jon's sake ;) Wow Sarah! Thanks a ton for the tips!

If you're staying only in Bangkok then this is my number 1 recommendation for you: you MUST got to CHATUCHUCK market on saturday/sunday. You can buy anything you would ever want (clothes, dvds, animals,...everything!) and it is dirt cheap! I also reccomend "PANTIP" it's heaven for comp-sci's . 4 floors of pirated DVD's, computer software and cd's...worth going to for sure!...just ask around on how to get there. food....make sure you have a banana pancake, and banana fritters (deep fried banana) sooo delicious! have fun!!!! thailand is incredible! i miss it like crazy, but will be going back in few months! ps- just off of Khao-san road there is an area called "RAMBUTTI VILLAGE" and it's a way nicer place to stay...tons of guesthouses, not such an insane atmophere...again, just ask someone how to get to rambutti village stay away from street Pad Thai…that’s all I can say. 3 days of food poisoning when I was there!

All the noodle dishs here in Calgary are at least 65 cents which is a real bring down. I can't wait to see some hawt pictures of tigers. Maybe try and get a picture of you hugging one. That would be great social proof :) Can't wait for more updates. Peace buddy Having never been in Thailand the only thing I can recommend is staying away from the sex malls :p
