Thailand - Why Not?

As soon as we started speaking the universal language of $$$, we got a flight to Bangkok. Yesterday (8th May) at about 1800 local time (MESZ +5) we arrived here. Yes: HERE :)
Of course we asked when the next flight to Ho Chi Minh City departs. The problem is, that we did not use our Round The World Ticket for the flight from KTM to BKK. So we first have to go to a Star Alliance town office in Bangkok, tell them we bought the ticket extra and then reconfirm the flight to Ho Chi Minh City. It departs at 0900. The town office opens at 0900.

On the spur of the moment we decided to stay a few days in Thailand. It is a REAL city! In comparison, Kathmandu is a village.

We already had a few hours sight seeing tour with the local Tuk Tuks. Right now I am sitting in the MBK - a large shopping center (a lot larger than the SCS in Austria). In about 10 minutes we will go to the cinema an watch the movie "Pathfinder" which costs for both of us 200 Bhat - about 4 Euro.

The hotel price is the opposite. Quite expensive (1900 Bhat), but luxurious: air conditioner, TV set, minibar, breakfast included, very clean room!

Tomorrow we go the beach at Pataya, about 2 hours bus drive. We will stay there for 3 nights and enjoy the sea!
