So the trip was planned and I was scheduled to meet up with a Thai girl (Suzi).
I was aware of the possible scams and the somewhat wayward ways of some Thai girls bet hey, this was to be a holiday in to the unknown and whatever happened, nothing was going to spoil it.
So mid-August came and I made my way to Gatwick Airport to jump on an Emirates flight to Dubai and connect to Bangkok from there. The flight was excellent and I must commend Emirates Airways for their superb service and in-flight entertainment.
Some 16 hours later I was at Suvarnabhumi airport on the eastern outskirts of Bangkok. A short wait to pass through passport control and collect my bags and I was heading toward the area where people wait to meet the new arrivals.
With no fear or even the slightest apprehension, when I saw Suzi, I just had to give her a big hug and kiss. This is not the way Thai's do things as they are normally far more reserved but she didn't seem to mind.

Bangkok at night
Same as any other city from above but it's on the ground where there is a world of difference just waiting to be explored.

She guided me to the taxi rank, hailed a cab and we were on our way to the inner city and the hotel she had previously booked on the Sukhumvit Road. I was not expecting just one bed in the hotel room but that is what we got. She had obviously had her own ideas about what was going to happen during our stay although I was not ready for this kind of holiday. We arrived at the hotel at about 9pm and above all else I was hungry so she went out to buy some food while I had a shower. We ate, and went to bed. Again, this is not something a normal good Thai girl would do but I was game so let life takes it's natural course.
We woke in the morning and prepared for the day ahead....
