BANGKOK AIRPORT
R has proven himself once more and landed us in cushy lounge with unlimited cafe au laits, tiny sandwiches, banana chips and internet access. To my own devices would still be wandering duty free contemplating Thai cookbooks, and paying for a coffee. Had assumed these lounges were only for front of the plane people - sanctuaries to keep them from the rest of us - but egalitarian Bangkok Air has an enlightened outlook and we're all in here - the backpackers en route to Burma right alongside the enormous business men.
Bangkok a whirl and a dream and, for now, over. Details owed but am onto thinking Pnom Penh, thumbing our second hand Lonely Planet Cambodia and gearing for a Khmer Thanksgiving.
We will be arriving fresh, for now clean, and generally well pressed. A far cry from my arrival here - Bangkok excellent for overhauls. Almost too easy a city - hard to segue from the rough and tumble, story and a sensory assault at every turn of India, to the refined ease of Bangkok life. Clean, easy, obvious - might as well have been reporting from an Upper West Side Starbucks. Promise to be an intrepid traveler, fly headlong into the new and foreign, again soon.
Love to all, it's dawn in Bangkok.
