Dunno what the weather is like where you are but it's blinkin' hot here. So today we're just lazing by the pool, eating tropical fruits and contemplating where to go for dinner. #sorry

Been doing the Sukhumvit shuffle all day. Knackered. In a NZ fish restaurant now with a big beer.

You know that drawing of all the staircases criss-crossing but never meeting? Well, it was inspired by the central atrium at Zen Dept Store in Bangkok.

Slept late. Raining. So a day in Central World Mall it is. So far we've had pizza and donuts (free wifi in Dunkin Donuts!). Prolly bimble round the posh shops, see a movie then have dinner at Nobu or Nara. #theonlythingweeverbuyinmallsisfood

The heat made me delirious and I convinced myself that this house in Jim Thompsons garden was laughing at me.

Spent today at Jim Thompsons house. CIA spy, Thai silk aficionado, architect, gardener and terrible map reader (missing and never found after 'going for a walk' in Malaysia in 1967).

Despite reports of gentrification and a more up-market vibe I can report that the Khao San Rd is still a hell hole of travellers in silly pants bragging about surviving on $5 a day.
Rush hour in Bangkok. Stupid name for it as no-one is capable of rushing anywhere.

Still awake. Been out for dinner (meat, rice, chillies...nice). Felt very poor in Siam Paragon (Chloe, Fendi, Balenciaga etc). Open bar at the hotel every night between 5 & 7pm but I'm in my jim-jams at 6pm and the land of nod is fast approaching.
Did we want a city view with easy access to the executive lounge? Or a river view 2 floors below the lounge? As we are lazy sods we took the city view.

Feel like I've been awake for 48 hours. When in fact it's only been 24. 32 floors above Bangkok now in an air conditioned room.

Hope the onboard snack is pickled herring.

As you might have gathered, I have been accused of being a 'lucky sod' today. Apparently, good stuff just falls into my lap and, being an only child, my parents spoiled me and set me up for a comfortable life. This is partially true because my parents DID spoil me but only with good working class ethics and a pride in aspiration.

Luck had nothing to do with it. In 1995 I sold the flat and bought a house in London. Three jobs were now needed to pay for these spoils.

Luck had nothing to do with it. I bought a flat in London in 1990. Had to work two jobs to pay for it.

Luck had nothing to do with it. From 1987-1990 I lived in a tower block on one of the worst estates in East London.

Does anyone, apart from our PM, know how a list of senior officials who like to do nasty shit to little GIRLS might lead to a persecution of 'gays'?

1985. Aswan, Egypt. I chose this camel because of his owners 'fuck you' fashion attitude.
