It's been a long weekend for me. I left my house 3:00 pm on Saturday
oct 22 and arrived at my hotel in bangkok on monday oct 24 11:00am, some 30 hours later. Amie &i parted ways, i think she is a brave girl, she had a plan: show up, head south and make the rest up along the way. I was expecting to see Megan at the airport as we arrive around the same time but no Megan and thankfully Intrepid was there. the ride to the hotel was good, nothing like the terror I expected. We are staying at the Grand Ville hotel which has seen better days some perhaps 30 years ago. so a few minutes in the room I hear a nock at the door, low an behold,guess who? Megan. We said our hello's then discovered we were actually on the same flight from hong kong and were sitting rows apart. Why we were not in transferred to the hotel together is beyond us.
Our hotel is located close to Chinatown which seem odd to me being Bangkok. the main street is lined with huge neon lights and red Chinese lanterns,really reminded me of Hong Kong. there were many small shops and restaurants as well as narrow lanes to the other streets. Sand bags a foot or so high are piled in front of some of the shops and oddly enough in front of an ATM -just looked odd to me. There is/was potential for flooding in the city but so far not here.
