In March Hannah was sent to work in Bangkok for a couple of weeks so we though it would be a good idea if she took a few days off and I came out for a little break. The first, and blindingly obvious, thing to note about Bangkok is the weather. When I left Beijing, the weather was still cold, a nasty wind cutting the skin to the bone, but it couldn't have been more different on arrival in Bangkok. I stepped out of the airport and was greeted by a warm wind and an outside temperature of about 30 degrees Celsius at about 6pm. Being that Thailand is in the Northern hemisphere (just) this therefore made it what the locals called the "cold season"; That time of year where in Beijing winter begins to transform into spring but the days are still cold and the wind still stings. It was a very welcome change!   more »
