Ok, just back from a couple of nights in Bangkok. I flew from Chiang Rai to Don Mueang on Nok Air - return fare was 2835 Baht, not bad seeing it was a long weekend holiday and booked at the last minute.
The flight was rescheduled the day before I flew but at least Nok Air sent me an SMS to that effect in plenty of time. Anyway, the Nok Air experience was as expected. No problems. Boarding and disembarking was quick and easy. I had not checked in any luggage so that probably helped.

1. The strength of the Thai Baht
2, Brexit uncertainty.

Just thought I would post this. Make of it what you will.
I was sat in the front of a beer bar in Chiang Rai the other night having a quiet beer. There was just 3 customers including me and 2 bar girls both of whom knew me. It was quite early, about 7.30pm.
As I sat there I noticed a car pull up outside in the road. There was a large teddy bear was on the back seat. I thought nothing of it. The car drove off and parked a few yards down the road.

It would appear that Thailand is 6th in a world league table for generating plastic waste. I am not at all surprised.
