I am in Bangkok!
The flight was about as good as can be expected. We landed about 3.15 pm and by the time I was in Bangkok proper it was more like five. The fact I should have been here this time yesterday (stupid BA with their stupid different terminals at stupid Heathrow and stupid long times to stupid change stupid terminal stupid. Not bitter) cannot diminish my general keenness one iota.
Sadly I was far too sleep-deprived / jet lagged to really annouce my arrival in the East, finding the energy only to locate a fantastically cheap hostel, grab a wonderfully cheap meal and wash it down with a by now unsurprisingly, but by no means unwelcome, cheap beer.
The price you pay for travelling with less than you need is that you need to run boring but vital errands, so the evening is spent looking for clothes unsuccessfully and toiletries successfully. Hopefully by tomorrow I will be able to think in a straight line and can properly explore the place. First impressions are very promising though - where I am staying (Khausan Road) is the typical backpackers base for Bangkok and there seem to be more foreigners than locals. Sometimes I'd hate this, but I'm pretty chilled out about it for now.
