Monday July 16th 2007 - Bangkok

I took a low-cost airline, AirAsia, from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Low Cost Carriers Terminal (LCCT) to Bangkok, a two-hour flight. How low is the cost? The one-way trip only cost me $45. Upon arrival, I was a little disappointed to learn that the train system to the city is not completed yet. So I took a cab to a no-frill hotel, Ibis Siam. I didn’t do much on the first day, just stayed at the hotel and worked on my research.
