You always come through Bangkok

Back in Bangkok I helped Nadine with finalizing her ticket-change and brought her to the Airport to say goodbye after a day of shopping on Khaosan.


Nadine's last Singha beer. She was so sad to leave...

Then I went back from Khaosan to Asha Guesthouse for some recovering (I had sprained my ankle while dancing on Phi Phi and also had some herpes cold sores) and to have a nice quiet place to contemplate if I should extend my trip for another month. I met some nice people there, but it wasn't a partycrowd like Rachel, Caz, Kieren, Konstantin, Richard and Jamie back in May. But I had some really quality conversations with James, an electronic music and experimental audio nut who's been living in Bangkok for a few years and who liked hanging out at the Asha Guesthouse bar (I had met him in May already).
I ended up extending for another month, and I barely made it: Unfortunately the flight was on monday morning at 3:15 (!) and i decided to extend on friday night. The problem is that Emirate Airline's Bangkok office is not manned during the weekend, and there was just nobody reachable on the airport counter under the "emergency number", too! So I shot off a mail to my travel agency calling for help on moving my flight another month while desperately going through the Emirate Airlines website trying to find either information on how to change your flight online or a number of a 24-hour-hotline (there is NOTHING, don't bother checking!). My travel agency was manned till 13:00 on Saturday, and with the time difference it was just 12:00 when i sent off my mail. So just before they closed i got a mail back that some angel there had just changed my flight! Hooray! ;-)
