Up at 5am this morning to get packed up and checked out of my hotel to catch the bus to the airport. Luckily the bus stop to the airport is just across the road from my hotel and I didn't have to wait long until I was picked up by the local airport transfer bus.The flight over to Bangkok was very empty, I am sure that this was mainly due to the troubles in Bangkok with the government and the red shirts, oh and also something to do with the Foreign Office adv...
