The last thing we saw in Thailand was this sunrise. It was pretty much a blur, because our cab driver was closing in on the speed of light at times. Typical speed for him = 135 kph. Typical speed for other drivers on the road = 85 kph. It was a metered cab and our hotel promised it wouldn't be over 500 Baht, which we had set aside and was the last of our money. It was supposed to be a 45-minute drive. He got us there for 210 Baht and about 25 minutes. We gave him 300.
The flight home turned out to be great as American Airlines gave us an exit row and free drinks because we didn't complain when our personal TVs didn't work. Then an old Japanese couple gave us their exit row seats, so we had working TVs and a 4-year-old girl sat next to me, informing me when a new cartoon would start. Not bad at all.
A final image: Every toilet in Thailand was equipped with a spray nozzle. Most toilets would have a sign explaining that no paper should be flushed. So, after going, you would spray with water. Then you would wipe dry and toss that in the trash. It seems like this is a much more efficient system and perhaps one that I will have in my house one day. It's like a mini-shower for my arse. I have a few friends in mind who could really use one.
