Ha, I hope you’ll see a great improvement in my blogging over the last six years 🙂

Hearing about the mattresses isn’t making me want to visit Asia anytime soon but I’ll get there eventually hopefully.

I’ve bought a duvet (not that you can get great ones here, but it helps) and have it tucked under the fitted sheet. Definitely makes a small difference!

But the supermarket and street markets sold little quilted mattress pads that you could place over your mattress to make it a little softer. I would never have guessed that’s what they were as they were rolled up and tied with string. Maybe there’s something similar you could pick up at one of the markets? It makes a big difference even though they’re not even an inch thick

Years later and I’m still not used to the rock hard Thai mattresses. I miss my pillow beds, I admit 🙂 One of these days!

It was hard as a rock but I loved it! I had the most relaxing sleep of my life on a hard mattress

Crazy! I didn’t realize it was so common 🙂 It was my first big trip alone!

I was on my way home for the first time after having lived in South Korea for the past year. I went home in May ’09. My layover went from 4 hours to close to 10 because of the inspections. Thanks for that reminder, brings back memories I haven’t had in years!

I agree with that statement 🙂 Even some of the higher end places with pools and whatnot are very poorly soundproofed. If you are a light sleeper I would go elsewhere.

Thanks, Alex!

We are planning to take up a place on Khao San Road (hopefully)! I’ve heard it gets pretty noisy and it’s difficult to get some shut eye in the night! Comments?!

Cheers!
