I am reporting from downtown Bangkok - finally!
Technically I missed two flights out of Hong Kong, none of which were my fault - the Air Canada flight was delayed, then we had a late take off -- all of which left me in a state of panic. Would they find me another flight? Will I have to pay? (after all this would be my third scheduled flight) When should I start crying?
Turns out that they were very nice to me, must have been the saline solution tentatively sitting on my bottom eyelashes, - One "not so sympathetic" comment, and the flow would begin.

I am staying in a tree lined area of Bangkok called Banglamphu. From my hotel, I can walk to numerous cafes, shops and street vendors. I feel very safe here, so much so that I am staying here until Feb. 8th. Ok, well I do HAVE to stay here since I, very reluctantly, handed over my passport in order to get my visas for Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.

I just heard that Vaios and Angelo (squash mates) are coming to Bangkok next week, I am really looking forward to seeing them. What are the rest of you waiting for?
