A recent death in the family meant that I needed to travel back to the UK pretty sharpish.
It's a whirlwind tour with me arriving Monday night and leaving Saturday morning.
I'm in Amsterdam airport necking a Heineken as I type.
I've lived in Thailand for nearly 9 years and only been back to the UK once for a wedding and a bit of sight seeing in London.
This time I'm travelling on my own, wifey needs to work and no way in hell am i travelling with a 3 year old by myself!
Flew KLM from BKK to Amsterdam, got a proper shitty seat in the middle of the plane, no leg room, no way out, no view... pretty much sat there for the whole 11hours. Nearly topped myself when I saw i still had 6hours to go... I was in an F row...
I did get told off because I had bought 2 beers in departures and because I didn't get round to drinking the second one I necked it on the flight. Apparently you're not allowed to do that.
Also, no fucking ATMs give THB in departures. WTF is up with that.
2 of these cost me a tenner (430bht) in AMS Airport. a small can of Singha was 125bht in Swampy..
Should arrive in t'old cuntry (Norwich) about 9ish. Quick check-in and then nip out for a Carling or two and a kebab.
