Bangkok - Day 1

12 00am Bangkok time, finally left the airport. Got a taxi, sat on my first CNG car. The whole trip from the airport to First Hotel is only 200 baht by meter. Cheap!! But there are 2 tolls along the way, 25 baht and 40 baht respectively, and a airport surcharge of 50 baht.

When we reached the hotel, we were told that our reservation was given up. I think it is because we came close to 1 am in the morning the next day. The receptionist say she is going to upgrade us to a bigger room for one night. To our horror, the upgraded room isn't very big. How does the "un-upgraded" room looks like? I cannot imagine.

Its 1 plus am, tired and hungry, went to 7-11 next door to get a yogurt and chips. It is only 34 baht, which is less than S$2. I wanted to get a beer, but apparently there is a beer curfew.

Microwave food here is quite good. Ate fried rice. Or maybe I am just hungry. Oh yes, next time you go Thailand, there is no need to bring shampoo or conditioner or bath soap. They are only 20 baht here each, that is maybe S$0.80.

Oh yes, had this Brit couple who sat beside me on the plane, the girl is pretty, the guy is pretty good looking. But before we reach Bangkok airport, they quarrel because they can't find the camera pouch. Why does couples have to quarrel over trival matters?

It is 2 15am. Zzzzz.....
