Andy, I know it is difficult to post the photos. Very nice post with description and explanation. FYI, a number of the photos only loaded the top part of the photos.

Hi Andy:
I arrived at this new Bangkok airport about 4am when it was dark. My initial thought was, "Wow, what a modern-looking airport." Your assessment during the day is something I didn't think of - the entire airport is a gigantic window.
When plane-weary passengers leave from the luggage area and go out the first door they see, they will get hit by taxi drivers asking for 600 Baht or more to go to Bangkok. There is an express shuttle all the way at the far end of the ground floor that will take you to Khao San Road and three other major hotel centers for 150 Baht. They will only leave if they have four passengers or more, which isn't usually a problem for Khao San Road but may be for the other places, as people headed there may be more likely to take a taxi.
I discovered the elevator banks along the front facade. They are better than the escalator ramps. With four floors it is hard to find anything. I went to one end of the ground floor for the express shuttle, then the fourth floor and the other end for ATM/money exchange, then back to the shuttle, shops are on the second floor, I think,.......... it took me at least thirty minutes to leave the place after I had gotten my luggage!

Hi Andy:
I picked up a headset in India because the cafes almost never had them. I found a relatively small one. You can also get a set of earbuds with the microphone on the cord. Earbuds are the little things in the ears that make the mobile phone junkies look like they are crazy people talking to themselves on the street. Whatever you get make sure it is for a computer and not a mobile. It should have two jacks and not one.
At the Wat end of Khao San Road, just to the right of the petrol station, is an internet cafe equipped for skype. I've been using it and it works quite well. However, it is not associated with a hotel and closes at midnight.

Andy,
I know this isnt the proper blog to post this comment, but I have been reading your blog for years and remember you complaining about internet access. This link will show you how to connect your laptop to the phone and browse internet.
