Thailand

The flight to Thailand was interesting as there is to be an overnight stop in Rangoon which is in Burma; we had been told Burma was closed to outsiders. The plain did stop in Rangoon; we were herded into a mini bus, driven at speed to our hotel. Which was a grand Victorian hotel, we were shown to our plush room. Soon the dinner gong sounded. So we headed for dinner. Outside the dining room entrance stood the head waiter dressed in tails he had an arm full of ties, you have to wear a tie in the dining room we were informed. So there we were all travellers wearing T shirts sporting ties the colonel influence was still showing. The next morning we were herded back into the mini buses back to the airport and out flight to Bangkok
