2nd Day - took the bus into downtown and got a phone. Bus trip was great. There is a person who collects your fare and they this have this metal cannister that they make change from and give you a ticket while you are riding on this rickety old bus - it was so cool to take the long ride across the river into downtown. Missed the Bangkok Theatre festival by one week. Did some more strolling around. The people here are wonderful. Of course you have those that are pushing you to buy things - but i think that is more the area than anything else.
