We'd boarded the Air Malindo flight by a quarter past midnight from Thiruvananthapuram and reached Kuala Lumpur by a quarter to 7, local time. We'd quickly gone on to the boarding gate for Bangkok but not before downing a cup of cappuccino.
There was more than a half an hour's delay for take off as there was a massive pile up of air traffic - dunno why - at Kuala Lumpur. We reached Don Mueang Bangkok International airport by a half past 12 but thanks to a mess up on the tour operator's part, we reached our place of stay - the Solitaire hotel - by a half past 2. Had Penang pizzas, along with coffee, for lunch.
After an hour's snooze in our room, it was a quick wash and change to go for the cruise on the Chao Phraya river in a big boat where dinner was served with a band in attendance. It turned out to be a nice evening.
They've replicated the Singaporean river cruise and succeeded to a considerable extent. The roads were clogged with traffic but hats off to the patient Thais, they never used the vehicular horns! We, Indians, need to take a lesson or two from them.
Tailpiece.
All pending work seems to have been put in place, back home. Didn't want to miss out on anything.
