Bangkok 2015

Bangkok is a different place than it was 20 years ago.  It has gone all modern! Tall new buildings, air conditioning that works, brand new airport.  Wow!  The air quality still sucks but there is so much water everwhere and no wind so the crap (nox and sox to be exact) just hangs over the city.  

The above photo is the pool at my airport hotel.  I had thought I wouod head into the city but Ive started this adventure with a cold so think Im gonna hang by the pool and see if I can get a Thai Massage.  

FYI. The massage was great and the peole watching by the pool is even more interesting interesting.  My take (other than the pilots, crew and travelers like us) is there are an unusual amount of older overweight white guys who look ex military with younger Thai women.   I see the ladies all have flashy rings but my gut tells me some hanky panky is happening.  Shopping for sex me thinks.   Makes  for Good people watching.  At least the sex tradehasnt changed from when I was here last.
