Well here i sit slumming it in the business class lounge at Bangkok Airport.
I have had to tear away from the free food and posh booze to write my travel blog :)
The trip started bad. I forgot to print our boarding passes the night before and when we arrived at the airport the queue was almost at the door. The on line check in queue was virtually empty. Lesson one learned.
After all the queuing we had to had to go straight through to board. Sorry Fritz , I was looking forward to having a coffer with you.
Arrived in Bangkok to a warm welcome from the weather and for our $20.00 a night hotel found our hotel shuttle person and were whisked off all on our own the hotel.
We had a very expensive meal in our room I had a great Pad Thai and John had Spicy fried chicken with stir fried vegetables. Three dishes all for the price of about $10.00, and served in our room
Next day we had breakfast and John was turned off by his American breakfast. The fried eggs were a bit lumpy so he left it.
After breakfast he worked so i went for a walk. First thing i found was a dog. Yes a dog that did not look too healthy. she had an injury to her left front leg and could not walk on it. I walked down the main drag past all the markets and stalls that offered a variety of local cuisine. I finally settled on purchasing from a very sanitized Seven Eleven. Paid an enormous 20 cents for a sprite. I also bought the dog a sausage wrapped in bacon. I found her when i walked back to the hotel and fed it to her piece by piece and unlike some of the wretches at Sanur she ate the lot. Spoke with some to the hotel staff and they advised she had been run over by a car some time ago.
John and I then searched the net for a vet or university with vet school but all the numbers we called no one spoke English. My good son then found a shelter and when i called them believe it or not i found an American volunteer who i could converse with. Anyway they are going to communicate with me via email and see if with my support they can get the dog fixed.
We had another great and expensive lunch at the hotel and i took another walk down town in the afternoon. The place was transformed. The markets were almost in full swing with everything you could ask for from fruit, clothing to chicken and meat, and food stalls with everything under the sun in pots and on grills. Fritz would have loved it.
We then packed up and were shuttled to the airport. No queuing with the hoy poloi for check-in, no sir, priority check in and passport and security control. Then to the royal orchard lounge. We have some of Fritz,s mates opposite us and they are into all the Pastries again.
Anyway time to get into the champers before we board. Abu Dhabi here we come.
