... else leaps off their seats upon landing, and wait for the masses to leave before making my way off the plane and into the fanciest airport of my travels. I stop to use the toilet, it's a squat one!! Didn't think I would ever be happy to see one of those but I am!! Standing on the moving walkway I notice a 'visa on arrival' place and check it out...the guy waves us through and so I continue to Immigration and...now I know why there was an almighty rush of the plane!! There are ...

With only a month and a half left to see SE Asia, the return to Bangkok was going to be a short one. It was pretty much a filler/rest stop between the flight from Kolkata and a flight to Hanoi, but with a day in Bangkok it couldn't just go to waste.

The next thing on my Bangkok checklist was the Forensic Museum at the Sanjari Hospital. It was listed only as a paragraph entry under "Quirky Bangkok" in Lonely Planet, but its description said that it ...

... I recommend an hour foot massage with a catnap to get you through the day. On Tuesday evening I went to a neighborhood yoga class. It was all in Thai. I had to watch and listen carefully to the instructions, so it was not as relaxing for me as usual, but I really did enjoy it. Wednesday, Sumalai and I will go overnight to Ko Samet, the resort island where the wedding will be held. We hope to work out many details.

... and coming in and out day and night. The sunshine was getting strong now so I decided I would ride a little bit and went home. I then turn left from the beginning of an empty Khaosan road on Burger King side heading to Banglumpu passing a circle where Swensen ice cream on the right side. This area is busy at night as there are so many food stalls around. There is also a Muslim food stall, in a small ally two blocks on the right of 7-eleven, selling very delicious ...

... but I'm afraid this may be just a bit much for Nanda to stomach. There turned out to be a nice place just around the corner from the hotel, but - obviously - this little place tured out to be closed on sundays. Still, Three J's Guesthouse has another very welcoming feature, namely a beer-stacked fridge with bottles and cans of the usual suspects, Leo, Singha and Chang. Hmm, feeling a bit thirsty... Cheers!

... drinking Chang beer and luminous cocktails with the more permanent residents (more people who keep coming back), the owners and their family, and had a Thai style cook it yourself barbecue, much like the Mongolian barbecue, only much better. Sukhothai. With Songkram over, i boarder the bus for pretty much a full day of travel, and in the evening i just sat with a few other travelers, relaxed and had a Chang or two ...

... pour rien du tout, genre 1.30 frs sans les bieres de Fred( no comment) (1.30 la biere, fois 2 c'est pas la mort quand meme) ca c'est un commentaire de Fred. Bref on recommande chaudement l'endroit pour ceux qui voudraient venir faire un tour par la... Y a meme quelques douves ("fous des douves, fous des douves" comprenne qui pourra). See you...

... in Prague and Rome, just hanging out at your hostel in that in between time between dinner and going out, and just meeting everybody and getting their stories. So, after dinner Dane and I played a game of chess out in the front open-air restuarant and lounge of Garden House. Randomly there was this older French guy Allen who had brought a chess set too and was playing a couple tables over, so I played and lost to him after Dane and I were done. In my defence, I have ...

... and just see what happened, planning to be a spectator more than anything else. So we hopped into a large motorcycle taxi device that puts people up front on a platform that is also the front steering mechanism, so you can imagine how safe I felt, and asked the driver to take us to another bar. He stepped on the gas and we headed for a pub. Along the way however, one of my fellow travelers spotted a massage parlor. Now this ...
