More Bangkok

Katherine getting a glimpse of the not-too-distant future on a visit to Ghot and Tom and Mali's room at Samitivej.


Mali. She's very cute and small and has a full head of black hair and blue eyes. We're trusting Tom on the blue eyes because Mali didn't open them while we were there. For some reason, the hat that the hospital put on Mali says Baby's First Easter.

A photo from our 37th floor deck. If you look at the distant buildings you will see one in the middle with a golden dome. That's where we went for dinner on Friday. If you look to the middle left of the photo, you will see a low building with a yellow roof. That's as far as we got in the cab before turning back and backtracking nearly to the hotel to get the sky train. A very fun 90 minutes in a cab, made more so by my need to use the bathroom.

Suvarnabhumi Airport. I miss Don Muang. It's immense and sleek and modern, but doesn't have the Burger King or Dairy Queen that the domestic concourse at Don Muang had.

Pulling up to the airport, it didn't even feel like I was in Bangkok. Then I walked by an old, bearded white guy smoking a joint outside the terminal and I was brought back to reality.

Time for bed. 4:45 am comes early, no matter what time you go to sleep.
