From Ayutthaya, I took the train back to Bangkok. From the main train station I knew there was an express bus that goes to the airport. I didn’t know how close I was to missing the bus that left every 2 hours. If the train was 10 minutes later, I would have missed the bus and ruined my whole plan.<\/p>\n
At the airport I searched for some Wi-Fi, but was having bad luck with that today. But then I found the airline lounges. Sitting outside of those is the secret to free Internet in airports.<\/p>\n
I took China Airlines to Taipei, Taiwan. This was my first non-discount airline flight since Detroit->Tokyo last year. I got food and drinks newspapers and magazines and a TV. I wasn’t bored at all on that flight. The discount airlines won’t even give you water for free.<\/p>\n
It was dark when I arrived, but I had some good directions to a hostel. I got a ticket on a bus from the airport to the main train station and from there I walked to a hostel. I paid for a $16 room with air conditioning and the first Wi-fi room access I’ve had in weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
