TP 130: Far from home

Bangkok Airport

I took this photo while I was waiting for my connecting flight to Phuket, on my first trip out for the King's Cup regatta in December 2006. I was travelling alone, long haul to a place I'd never been to before, and was a bit trepidatious of everything from finding the taxi at Phuket airport, to what they were expecting of me during the week, to whether I'd know more than two people when I got there.

As usual, all my fears disappeared as things fell into place, and I could enjoy the wondrous differences between Thailand and England.

  6. I wish all airports looked like this. The landscaping is spectacular: Just the thing to make the soul smile after a long, tiring journey.

  7. It would certainly be much more pleasant waiting for a flight at Heathrow if there was a view like that!
