Final flight through Bangkok before flying again

We had left some of our luggage in a hotel in Bangkok cause the luggage allowance for air asia is 15kg and our luggage for the rest of our time was 40kg's between two bags... so we had 4 hours to get out of the airport and check in again. Our flight was delayed in Cambodia for an hour, so we were cutting it a little fine if there was a lot of traffic on the road.
The drivers on roads in Bangkok, especially taxi drivers are crazy. They wind in and out of traffic, and when going 100km/h don't leave more than 1 car space inbetween the cars. Jono said this doesn't change in wet conditions either, or going round corners. On the previous trip they'd got up to 130 km/h and at times I just had to close my eyes. Indian drivers are exceptionally good mergers, but they are never travelling at such high speeds.
But we got the slowest driver ever when we needed the quick ride to the hotel. We managed and had time to repack our bags...which we had been charged 80c for the storage for the week, and then our hotel ladies gave us the option of a personal car back to the airport. It was lovely. We had a lady driver, who knew the quickest route and also provided us with candies to munch on to enhance the pure luxurious experience.
And then we were flying... flying back to India...to the big black hole of Kolkata...to wait in a long long line, many long long lines for customs and money changing...to be picked up by Wesley Butler....then we were badly ripped off on the taxi as we'd arrived at 3am and it was our only option... and then the hotels were all closed cause it was so late, so we went to the hotel the taxi took us to.
It had to be the most expensive hotel in the whole of Kolkatta, cause it was over 4 times what I would normally pay. Once again, we had no option as the information about our hotel and which one had been booked hadn't been communicated to us before we arrived. So it was an interesting arrival in India. But the point remains, we had arrived. We are here in India.
