We got upgraded to business class for our Cathy Pacific flight from Delhi to Bangkok. I like it. My mission is now to score as many upgrades as we can manage, but fear this might be our one and only. They only actually gave us one upgraded seat but Cliff was super cool at the gate and managed to sweet talk the ground crew into dishing out three. A We arrived in Bangkok after a three and a half hour flight to low 30's temperature and sunny skies. The hotel (IMM Fusion) is amazing and certainly a find for the price - about £18 a night. We're right by the On Nut Skytrain station and right next door to a huge Tesco Lotus (actually I'm not listing that as a positive) it's a bit like Tescos at home but I don't think the Shoreham one sells live fish or huge shrimp in a tank, so that you can pick one out for your tea. The skytrain is a bit like the Delhi metro, although all on elevated tracks, so I can see where the comparisons to Bladerunner come from. Again, clean and efficient but no constant staring here. Maybe because there are lot of tourists and westerners here. And lots of them (the men) have Thai brides/girlfriends. we took the skytrain/BTS to MBK a huge 7 floor mall, where Liam got 30 odd games for his DS for £16 and a couple of totally legit films. He's in consumer heaven. We had some food (Pad Thai for me; a bit disappointing) and an early night on a mattress that is actually more than one inch thick (unlike the Indian ones).
