Amazingly Qantas are still paying for our accommodation and food at the glorious (some sarcasm here) Amari Airport Hotel. We are on our second day and are already starting to feel a bit institutionalised.  We get a daily morning report from the very nice Qantas man which is basically no change and we’ll pick up your bill for another 24 hours.

So we are using the “About a Boy” technique of passing your day by splitting it in to 30 minute units.

Breakfast – 1 unit
Gym – 1 unit
Swim – 2 units
Lunch – 1 unit
Shopping – 2 to 4 units
Dinner – 2 units
Drinking in the American theme bar – 6 units

Still no idea when we will fly. Once things get moving we will be on constant standby but at best we are looking at Thursday but more likely the weekend.

The hotel is in a pretty basic Thai suburb of Bangkok about 30-45 minutes out of town. Qantas say it is so we are far away from any protest, however, I think cost is probably more of a deciding factor.
