Getting Ill in Bangkok

I think it takes a bit of time to adjust to the air-con that you find everywhere in hot countries. I’m getting a bit of a throat cold and have been popping the pills today in a bid to suppress it. Initially I thought it was because I’d been in smokey bars and perhaps even partaken of the occassional cigarette while under the influence of a hint of alcohol, but we’re getting into day 2 of not being able to speak now, so I think it may be the air-con.

Most of the places I’ve been so far in Asia have been much less developed, and therefore have much less air-con I’m hoping it’ll settle down in the next few days. I think Ferg (new window) had a similar thing when he left Singapore.
