Right, so it was about 20mins into The Proposal, staring the lovely Sandra Bullock and the delectable Ryan Reynolds, that it hit me that we were actually on a plane to Bangkok. The second and third times were not such a lovely experience. The second being the attempts to sleep with even further restricted legspace because my bag was stowed beneath my feet as we boarded the plane so late that all the overhead lockers were full. And the third being the time spent in the toilet being sick. Ah yes, I remember why I don’t eat plane food! Too many years had past since that time flying to Florida and I had become complacent. I’m sure the wine didn’t help matters much either.
So we landed in Bangkok and I already want to challenge this concept of “a land of a thousand smiles” - first smile we got was our taxi driver and that’s only when we overtipped him! Though I suppose it’d be the same in London if after the good old days when everyone was chipper and waved to you on the street, some Boris-esque suit had the genius idea of plastering every billboard in view with the slogan “land of a thousand smiles” you’d soon start getting f*$ked off.

Our hostel is lovely! Got a wet room style bathroom to ourselves, air con and a balcony - ooo and a fridge and TV with the wonders of Thai telly! Me and Rhi have been here for about an hour trying to catch some zzzs before hitting Koh San Road for some noodles and fish massages! Oh and already running very low on Bahts, no sign of where I can spend US$ - I could kill Thomas Cook!
