What
was I going to do now? Shuffling back down Wireless Road with my head
sunk and with no ideas I felt drained and depressed. Luck hadn't been
on my side so far in this trip and I was desperately hoping that this
wasn't a sign of things to come. Back at Cozy I sat slumped against
the wall of my room and sobbed myself to sleep. Waking an hour later
I still had no real clue about how to solve this, I had no phone and
only five thousand bhat (£95) left. I knew I would have to change my
flight so checked the AirAsia website but as the flight was less than
48 hours away I could not change it, the site did say however that
there was an office in Bangkok. I began to perk up, there was hope.
Waving a tuk-tuk down was easy and I was on my way to the office, I
was feeling good again. We pulled up outside a tailors and the driver
explained that if I went in and had a look round for five minutes he
would get his free petrol. I pleaded with the him that I was in such
a rush as the office shut in an hour but he was adamant. The tailors
was plush and looked too expensive especially on my current budget.
After five minutes I jumped back in and off we went. I remember
exactly what he said.
“you
buy?”
“No,
too expensive.” I replied
“Why
you no buy?”
“too
expensive!” reiterating what I'd said
“where
you go now?” he shouted
Suddenly
he had no idea where Khao San Road was and within five minutes we
were back at Hualampong station. Climbing out I gave him 10 baht and
walked off in a huff. My tight budget and deadline made me hesitant
to use a taxi so looked for another tuk-tuk. One relaxed looking
driver beckoned me over and I told him where I wanted to go and that
I definitely couldn't go to a tailors because I had no time. From
nowhere he shouted “I attack you!” and came at me. Instantly I
took off not knowing where to run, the train station now seemed like
the best option.
