This is Asia Calling

Back in Asia and I'm in a jet lagged haze.

Decent flight out - I had paid for a 'Preferred Seat' i.e. one with extra legroom, and I had the bonus of an empty seat next to me. Not quite Business Class, but more than bearable. The day flight east is a tough one - an early start to get to the airport and once in the air a struggle to try and get some sleep when your body clock says you should be awake. Then you arrive early in the morning with the joy of a full day ahead of you!

I had a 6 hour layover before my flight to Chiang Mai. In an attempt to temper the severity of my jet lag I went for a swim followed by a tasty Indian vegetarian breakfast at Komala Villas. So far so good. Then I got on the MRT back to Changi airport (no need for a cab as not in any real rush). I sat down and just felt monumentally tired. My irritability index was in the red zone.

Got to the airport and after a quick look at the shops I went to the KrisFlyer Gold lounge. It's a good job the seats aren't particularly comfortable otherwise I would definitely be nodding off.

I've now got just under 3 hours until my flight.........
