Thailand Adventure 3: Day 19 (Location no where near Nong Khai for the sky walk and temple visit)
This is my 3rd documented trip to Thailand to tour the vast country, to visit family and meet people.
Today was the road trip to NongKhai, starting allegedly at 8am however it was more like 9am before we got going.
The boys had to work, so we had Wiyada and the kids.
The end location was also nowhere near Nongkhai, but a lot further - more like 5.5 hours mostly on single track roads frequented by idiots doing 40kph and no chance of overtaking due to the road conditions.
We did eventually make it to enjoy the view, the skywalk and temple although Ploy and myself were the only ones to skywalk, and even then she was bricking it half way over.
My new series is all about places to stay, preferably with accessible rooms but not always. Also, sometimes the places will not be chains but independent places, guest houses and motels.
This episode is the Avalon Hotel in Tintagel, Cornwall.

There are 500+ places of interest in the UK under the National Trust banner and I will be attempting to visit as many as I can, reporting as I do all the important stuff relative to accessibility. In this episode I go to The Courts, a formal and informal garden around a house (not part of the tour) in the village of Holt near Trowbridge. You can join the Trust at their website and it is only £5.25 per month by direct debit.

Yes, my birthday, however, none of the footage from the day survived to the vlog and rather than padding it out, it's a short one today.

28 AUGUST 2017
DAY 22 / 23 PART FOUR
Arriving in Bangkok I am escorted through to check in, where I meet up with Stephen and Meaw (Thailand Unplugged), where we had a chat. (This is available as a special episode).
I am taken through to the gate but on the way i mentioned wanting to stop off for food. The guy very kindly took me to the Mango Tree and came back later to finish off the job and take me to the plane.
Arriving in London we have the same old story, no wheelchair waiting. Excuses galore. I often wonder how foreign airports can manage with a plane load of passengers, but the UK can't cope.
I am left to walk to the buggy and a very long wait on the buggy, which makes me later for my taxi. I have no choice, because it is just too far to walk - I did it once and it nearly killed me.
