After finishing the most intensive term yet at AUA Chiang Mai, I decided to head down to Bangkok for a short break.Saturday night I took a 9-hour bus ride from Chiang Mai into Bangkok. As the last hours of daylight faded and the bus disappeared into the night I drifted out of consciousness listening to the droning sounds of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
The bus arrived early in the morning, the city sky still pitch black. Tuk tuk drivers got all up in my face begging to drive my somewhere, anywhere, as I was still struggling to wake up. Rats skittered across the streets and disappeared into gutters of the trash-strewn streets leading up to Sukhumvit.
Eventually I stopped near Saphan Khwai and got some sleep.
