Well, today is the last day of my road trip and I wasted it away by driving 300 km to the environs of Bangkok to be close enough to BKK to deliver the car tomorrow, while still enjoying the calm of the countryside. Most of the day I simply drove through ag fields and irrigation canals, which made me feel just like at home.
I found a very comfortable hotel out in the sticks, where I have to do the cleaning up of all the stuff I have accumulated while I had a car: plastic bags, wrappers, five bottles of water, munchies, etc. After I return the car I have to take the intercity rail to Bangkok and get in the metro, so I cannot be carrying much useless stuff in plastic bags.
Today in the afternoon I want to relax, because once I hit the big city I am sure my three days there are going to be pretty hectic. But first I need to find a barber because I am looking like a wildman ... Well, I did find a barbershop with two lady stylists. The two youngsters ahead of me had big heads of hair and were clearly going for the mop look, so my girl seemed to enjoy the challenge of engineering a close hair cut and a beard trim. She did a great job, but on final inspection decided to tip my head back and gave me shave! She was so pleased I had no heart to burst her bubble, but I feel naked without my beard. Oh well, it will grow back and I will have some stubble once I land in California.
