Arrived in Bangkok

Just got to Bangkok. First impression, it will be good once it's finished.

Second flight was great. well looked after again. Been feed constantly for 12 hours now. Watched another two films and have given up. Eyes just puffy slits.

The hotel is nice, apartments. Perks of having a job and not backpacking.

Her mate in work put us on a bum steer with the taxi. Ended up paying double, could have been worst. The driver could only just reach the steering wheel and I'm not convinced he had ever driven before. He certainly didn't have clue where to go, so cue the one handed driving while on the phone. Not the best idea for a midgets first time behind the wheel and an incorrectly adjusted seat with all the mopeds around. Should have been 500, they started at 2200, we got it for 950. So tourists 0 - locals 1 but we did try.

Early days, but the roch count is also nil.

Everyone is falling over themselves to carry cases open doors and shit, followed by a prayer bow thing. Just been shown round the room. What the bed looks like and where the bog is. Maybe we just look that incompetent after the long flight. I suspect they are after a tip, i don't know how much is appropriate for being treated like a buffoon.

Anyway, as we just landed so all I have are big notes, still clutching my iPhone and exchange rate card.

Right, the the plan is to have a quick sleep before hitting the tables and free booze. Hang on, I mean to eat something out of a wheel barrow before we head into town in the 33 degree rain to be ripped off.
