My flight to Bangkok was quite uneventful, apart from the usual screaming child. The movies were good, they had all the current films as well as some classics and girly films. Feeling simple minded, I opted for "legally blond" - and fell asleep in 10 minutes flat. I had a stop over in Doha (went with Qatar Airways) - awful airport, but not as awful as Charles de Gaule in Paris!
On the plane I met a soccer-hating Italian guy and at the taxi stand two girls from Belgium. As I had already booked my first night, they followed me to my hotel (in the middle of the old town Banglampu) and got a room in the same street. We went out exploring and had great fun eating snacks from stalls, smelling the air thick with frying chili and trying to determine which woman was in fact a lady-boy.
I managed to fix my return date - I'm back in Switzerland on Friday, October 3rd. Now all I have to do is find a flight out to Australia...!
