Bangkok Hint and Tips

Waiting round in the airport I have some time to kill so I thought I would do a quick summary.

Transfers - Ignore the prepaid Taxis/Limo touts and head for the rank.

Seat belts - Don't waste you time and energy reaching for them. Not found any that work.

Don't believe what any of the locals tell you - Especially if you get the feeling the conversation is heading in the direction of you ended up in a Tuk Tuk. This applies no matter how well they are dressed.

Don't mix the sky train with the normal train like she did - enough said.

Show respect for the national anthem -which is played twice a day at certain times in some public places. Everyone froze on the spot. We felt compelled to do the same. Surreal.

Assume everything is counterfeit - just because you are not stood at a market stall doesn't make it genuine.
