Buses and Badminton

Should you happen to be in Bangkok, you should know that there are buses with the same number that run different routes. Admittedly the buses look entirely different. The one was really more a van and the other a full size bus. One blue the other orange. I however had not been warned about this, and, as might be expected, the wrong one came first. Fortunately, all parties concerned were very gracious to me. The bus did not make me pay and put me off at the next stop. A fellow bus rider, who also dismounted had heard my intended destination, told me I wanted the orange 39 (not the blue one I had been on).  

 

The day ended well. I got my bus and arrived safely home after a good evening of badminton that included a group of folks trying to come up with a Thai name for me. They ruled out several I thought I liked, and I’m not sure I like the one they settled on. I’ll have to think about it. I’ll let you know when I start introducing myself by a name other than Micah.
