Mainly a day of travelling again to our final stop before Coleford namely Bangkok.
Our prearranged car to the airport duly arrived dead on time for our 40 min drive to Phuket Airport.
Arrived Bangkok about fifteen minutes late and made our way to the recently opened train shuttle the the City. Bangkok airport is a busy place but very few seem to be using this new facility. It is a non stop service to a hub station called Makkasan but there were no more than half a dozen on it. Very strange. Had to get taxi for the shortish drive to our hotel. Argument number three for Butty, with a taxi driver, as we arrived at the hotel. Number one was our first day was with the tuk tuk boys in Beijing. The second was with a lady driver in HCMC who wanted more than the meter reading because she said she quoted me a fixed price and the meter didn’t count. B……..it she got what was on the meter! The third was today when the taxi driver wanted 500 Baht but his meter was not running so how did he know how much it should be? I had and idea it would of been about 300 Baht so that is what he got. He was not a happy bunny and nor was Irene, me making a scene over a couple of pounds!
Went out for a while in the evening to the night market and red light area!
Preparing the meat for the pavement eatery!
Our hotels river shuttle that goes upriver to a main river ferry pier and city sky rail station.
