Have you ever gone to the airport nine hours before your flight? Well we have, I mean why wouldn't you want to go and spend your time doing absolutely nothing and getting increasingly bored and spending five times as much on the really drab and boring restaurants, I tell you its super fun, please do try it. We have a half decent reason to why we did it and that is because we got into Bangkok at 11pm on the 5th and then had to wait until 10pm the next night to catch our flight to Chaing Mai, so we went to the airport nine, yes NINE hours early to catch a ONE hour flight. So in this time I became a 'non social' smoker through sheer boredom, but on the bright side my various trips to the outside smoking area were a means of entertainment, on one occasion I had to stop and stare because I had to just look at some very weird people, there was a white guy who was very skanky looking and topless, i mean everyone that goes to an airport should just be topless, why not, when you look like him right, no actually, he was big and had a rather large beer belly and some very ugly tattoos all over his body and he seemed to be dry humping a Thai girl against the railing, don't worry she looked like she was enjoying herself, while his equally attractive friend watched, and I tell you he was so white that he would put talcum powder to shame, and he had some sort of cool mullet going on. So you see in those five to ten minutes I did have some joy in looking in disgust at inappropriate people and the things they do in Thailand because they think they can. Then my various trips to the bathroom were fun too, especially when I can watch the many 12-15 year old Thai girls (which are the equivalent to the English chavs) slapping on some more makeup, puffing their hair and pouting into the mirror with their 9inch heals on.
God I do have a scatter brain at times because as we were checking our bags in at Hanoi, I was asked if I had money or valuables in my bag, which I did, so I decided to take them out, and thank goodness I did because my key was still in the bloody lock, how lucky was that…so to summarise don't go to the airport nine hours before your flight and don't leave your key in the lock.

I am getting used waiting around and having long journeys so it was not too bad and I hate flying as I am so scared, so thankfully all was good and we arrived in Chiang Mai in one piece, and managed to get a cheap room in a hostel.
