Well up bright and early on this cold, crisp and misty morning I've packed my bag and I'm sitting in a taxi travelling up the A23 to Heathrow for my Thai Airways flight to Bangkok. Nice to be going direct and in comfort, let's hope everything is on time as I connect straight up Chiang Rai when I land tomorrow at 6am

Traffic is quite heavy on this Monday but there's plenty of time...

More later..
