I thought I would be in Cambodia right now. I flew from Ha Noi to Bangkok and landed on time. Then I went to change my ticket from Bali to Hong Kong then to San Francisco. The date of my return is now February 18. Once that was settled I went to the desk check in.

The guy there told me there were no Air Asia flights flying out anytime soon and directed me to the ticketing both. The ladt boy there told me my flight was at seven that morning. Grrrr. What a waste of money. It wasn't that much because Air Asia is a no frills budget airline, but still, I should not be throwing money away like that.

After a bit of sulking I went to catch the airport bus into town. There are worse places to be stuck than Bangkok. I met a English guy named mick on the bus and we ended up getting drunk in my local bar on Koh San Rd. I still don't know the name of it. I saw Porn briefly, but she left before I came stumbling out at midnight.

I was hung over the next day. Two out of the three times I've been in Bangkok, I've been hung over the second day there.

Later that night I decided to book a plane ticket to Chiang Mai. I would've taken the train, but all the sleepers are sold out through the weekend. The woman at the travel agency suggested a bus, but it shows up at some godawful time in the morning (4am).

Now I'm in Chiang Mai with no guide book. I've lost my edge. I just got talked into taking a room for the equivalent of ten U.S. dollars. If I had walked one hundred meters down the road I would've found a room for someting closer to $4.
