Say Waaaaaaaat?!
Up early-ish this morning and took full advantage of the complimentary coffee and toast in the hostel at breakfast-time, and chatted a little with a French girl. Was after half-ten by the time I got myself sorted and out - had decided to stay a extra night but had to move room as ended up in a double last night because they were out of singles...so …
One Night in Bangkok...
Hardly slept on the plane to Bangkok thanks to the large man next to me who was impinging on my space.
