Dirty, smelly, noisy.... ohhhh, but the foood!
So we flew into Bangkok for our first glimpse of Thailand. Checked into a cheap hotel near the train station so it would be convenient for booking train tickets to Chiang Mai (a city in northern Thailand).

... there is some sort of commission and pay off system, we hoped we hadn't got Suup into too much trouble with his colleagues or the Boss of the Seawall. I guess he knows the score otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to take us today if it meant big trouble for him. Only the usual problems you encounter at the airport. A whole family of Russians !!!! No, I'm joking, they were Germans, lol, who spread themselves and their luggage across two check in counters ...
