There really is nothing like flying into Bangkok, jumping a bus to Sukhumvit Road and checking into a clean, comfy room near the SkyTrain! Having flown from Jordan to Abu Dhabi to Bahrain to Bangkok over nearly 24 hours, I took a nap and then a lovely swim. Met a cool German guy on his way to Bhutan, so I took him to one of my favourite restairants nearby.
The next day I spent nearly four hours at Central World shopping centre. Normally I am not a fan of shopping malls, but the ones in Siam Square are extraordinary. Street-friendly, architecturally-interesting, bright, spacious and well-stocked, they make Canadian malls look pale. Bangkok malls are the antithesis of Bangkok's streets: clean, cool, roomy, and prices are firm!
Then flew to Phuket to board my Similan Island liveaboard trip. So no blogging for 4 days. See you Nov. 22!
PS: in case you are wondering: "What about India?", I changed my flight to allow some dive time. Pics soon!

OK, I'm really starting to worry about you: buying a Porsche, vacationing in the Emirates, singing the praises of malls. Time to redeem yourself in India!
At least you're back in civilization (BKK)

PS: went to Cabbages and Condoms again for another excellent meal...
