One (unwelcome) night in Bangkok


When the sun rose this morning, we so wanted to spy the Eiffel Tower glowing in the early light and nibble at croissant. So: where's the Eiffel Tower in this picture?

Thanks to the ever-reliable Qantas, we've spent the night (and will spend the rest of today) in Bangkok. One of the engines failed as we started the climb out of Bangkok - so we came back. Got to our hotel at 5am (after many hours of waiting in queues). We will arrive in Paris a day late. We're forced to spend a night in London as well - arriving at 1am so not a lot to be gained from that.

We're trying to be as serene as we can......which isn't very. &#$%$ Qantas!!

  2. Bugger mate, that's what you get for flying with an Australian airline, we only make good alcohol and ideas that make overseas investors lots of money... If you really jack of them Premium Economy with Virgin Atlantic is awesome and cheaper than Qantas!

    Hopefully by now your in the land of cheese and laughing derisively through your nose like the locals :)

    Love the 'One night in Bangkok' ref from Vaqueone... showing our ages here :P

  3. Funny you should mention the buses. They're the ones that ferried us out from the airport, and had to sit there till the next afternoon to take people back.

    Also just out of shot to the right is the creek and sewage treatment plant - edited out for the sake of delicacy.
