So after a hectic and rather stressful time leaving England I was finally on the plane. 11 hour flight London to Heathrow, very nice plane with individual TV screens and recent films, useful as sleep was not forthcoming. They asked passengers to close the window blinds for the night time flight to help them sleep "and to stop anyone outside looking in"!
Was met by Oh who was to be my guide in Thailand, he was very smiley and chatty and possibly slightly mad. After a quick swim in the hotel pool to try and shake off a bit of jet lag he took me out for dinner in the Banglamphu part of Bangkok. The famous road Thanon Khao San is pedestrianised at night and is lined with bars and shops and massage shops and filled with carts selling street food, and fake driving licenses and degrees. This is the traditional backpackers area but recently bit more upmarket and more expensive. It was a great atmosphere with all the senses being stimulated.
