Thailand - Day 0 - 20/11/04 (Flight)

Sitting in an internet cafe typing up this blog and i'm on a strict timelimit. Didn't bring my usb cable today so no photos to upload. Only taken about 10 anyway.



The flight down to London went without any hitches, had a few hours to kill in Heathrow which was fine, won on puggy, which wasn't so good as was trying to spend the change i had :(



Gutted on the flight to Thailand with EVA Air - no small tellies on the back of the chairs in front :( Didn't matter - had seen all the movies bar one of them before anyway. Slept like a baby for most of the flight, no-one in front of me, no-one behind. Seat back - Lovely, lovely, lovely!!



Meals were weird, got some food at about 11pm GMT, then some more early morning 21/11 GMT, but of course, that was tea time in thai, so it was beef for breakfast!! Weird as!



Checked the bags in at Edinburgh didn't see them until Bangkok. Miracle they got here imho.



Had a bit of an underwear disaster - didn't have enough pairs to take with me - ended up wearing my thermal undies to travel in. Not good when it's 30C in bangkok.



Bangkok airport was something else - total conjestion - got ourselves in the taxi cue and into two separate taxis to the Sofitel Silom - long journey to get there, airport is 30 km to the north of bangkok.



Smog galore in the city. Excellent place though - areas remind me of Singapore - locals can't do enough for you.
