Did I misread that in my tiredness? Kenya Airways KQ0887 departs Bangkok for Nairobi at 0035, not for 40 mins? Damn.

Also, I’m not responding to anything ‘cos I can only tweet by SMS, and that’s pretty dodgy.

Sturdy airport security woman in black uniform and beret, but hot pink radio.

Grrr. Bangkok airport is enormous, and once you go thru to the gates there’s no drinking water. Or Wi-Fi. Fail.

via Cloudhopper

Touchdown Bangkok! Rather blurry. That’s 1 flight down, 3 to go. Waiting to exit aircraft.

via Cloudhopper

Announcements made. Transmitters off. Next stop Bangkok in about 9.5 hours.

This camera is full of 1. Fail 2. Shoddy no-name batteries 3. Photos of The Veronicas in concert.

Powering down the netbook to save electrickery. Also trying to understand why the Nikon Coolpix P50 is being weird.

@Ryan_Mitchell This is the first day of netbook use. My fingers are too fat. The small screen is… something to get used to.

My whole itinerary is over at http://bit.ly/jVDL8 somewhere. Except for the being chatted up bit. That’s off-plan.

Whoever asked, I’m flying Thai to Bangkok, then Kenya Airways to Nairobi, same to Dar es Salaam, and a local airline to Zanzibar.

Gate lounge, gate 39, insanely early for 1530 departure but all’s going smoothly. Time to catch up on tweets and email.

Being chatted up by Thai boys before even past the Chanel counter, let alone on the plane. I have his card, for some reason.

Advice re forex correct. In CBD an AUD buys 0.77 USD. Airport 0.75. Once past security 0.73.

Cleared Customs amd security.

Thank somebody for Bar Coluzzi being at the airport and making a decent soup. About to go thru Customs.

Bag limit 20kg. My case 22.7kg. “That’s fine”, says the clerk. I won’t see my underpants until Dar es Salaam.

@sylmobile I did Internet check-in. Window seat 70A.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to sylmobile

The gentle but energising chatter of the check-in queue. Some eager to embark on adventure, others tired and heading home.
