Meth: a Ticking Timebomb Gone Viral

Bangkok Blues Again

It's been three months since I last visited Bangkok, and just like the last time I was there, I couldn't wait to leave.

As Nada and I waited in Bangkok for the connecting bus that was taking us to Chon Buri (where her seventeen-year-old son goes to school) I wouldn't describe what was going on with me as a panic attack, but with the amount of people, the noise and the heavy traffic in the area around the bus depot, I was feeling some degree of anxiety.

I was meeting her son for the first time. He's a good kid who has three years to go before completing his training to become a mechanic.

The hotel Nada and I stayed at was below standard. It was supposed to be three-star but fell well short (in my opinion). I'm glad we were only staying one night. I won't bore you with the details, other than to say I will be doing a review and it won't be complimentary. I believe feedback for the establishment is important when the experience is below par...and when it's above standard, sharing that with the public is what I consider my job as a Google Local Guide.

We just got home after spending most of the day travelling. I was up late last night and had an early morning this morning. After a shower (to wash off the filth and grime that seems to accumulate on the skin after visiting a large city like Bangkok), I'm going to bed...and God help anyone who dares to wake me up before 8.00 am tomorrow.
