(Daniel) I arrived in Thailand safely at 6am, in the new space age Savanahbumi Airport. (I am sure this is not how it spelt, but you never know!)  Heading first for a hotel which I always stay in, and then after checking in took a taxi to the MBK centre.  Here I bought a new phone to replace the one stolen in Pakistan, and then walked across to the Siam Discovery Centre, and Toni and Guy, where I got a haircut.  Then I walked back to MBK, and ate three sushi sets including a steak set before taking another taxi back to the Hotel.  Thailand is like a second home to me. This is my 9th time flying in here, and with speaking Thai, I can move around very easily here.

I have decided not to write a comprehensive diary of my time waiting for the vehicle, maybe I will do so for the America shipping.  But this is very much a recovery period for me, and I cannot afford the effort required to write these diaries every day now.  Instead I will summarise my time here when the vehicle arrives, and write one long entry with photos etc.  I am sure that this will seem like a cop-out to some people, but I can assure anyone reading that despite the dubious quality of the text, these diaries take a long time to write, and being out here I don’t even know if people read them!  Although I have to say that the greatest thrill for me, is to read back to the earliest pages and see how far I have come in such a short time.  As soon as the vehicle arrives in Port Klang, I will get straight back on the case with the daily diaries, and look forward to the adventures waiting for me in the rainforests of southern Malaysia.
