Wat Arun across the Chao Phraya, first night. Photo: Nirjhar BasakJan 10, Bangkok, Thailand Bangkok Landed. Twenty hours door to door, water and two bad movies. Airport train to Phaya Thai, then a Grab to a guesthouse behind Khao San, the quiet side. Walked to the river because I couldn't sit still. Ferries going past lit up like birthday cakes. Pad thai from a cart, best thing I have eaten in a year. Bed at eleven. Alarm set for seven. Thailand.
