Yesterday, I got up at the slightly ungodly hour of 4am, double-checked my suitcase and waited for Hannah to arrive to take me to the bus stop.

After nearly getting in the way of Winchester's street cleaners, I made it onto the National Express coach and arrived a Heathrow an hour or so later.

After un uneventful 12-hour flight, we touched down at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport and negotiated the Airport Rail Link and the MRT subway system into the center of Bangkok.
