briefly bangkok

My flight into Bangkok meant I had to stay overnight for my trip to Myanmar.

So I found a cheap hotel near the airport that would pick me up from the arrivals level. Simple and clean and easy to book over the internet.

I arrived quite late in the evening, but as Air Asia had previously cancelled the next days morning flight to Yangon (formerly Rangoon) and put me on an afternoon one, I slept in and had a few hours to kill before I had to head back to Suvanavvusinabusinabhumirumitumi airport (well I can't remember..it's one of the tricky ones like Antananarivo.)

Fortunately there appeared to be a temple complex across the small river than ran behind the hotel. This gave me something to do for a couple of hours.

* for those who notice such things - internet access in Myanmar was almost non-existent, so now that I'm home I am backdating posts to around the time they happened.
