The Power of Recognitiont

  Traveling from my guesthouse in Bangkok begins with a few block walk to the Sky Train (modern elevated railway).  I take the Sky Train for 7 stops and one quick transfer to the Victory Monument stop where I transfer to a mini-bus...a 16 passenger Toyota van,  Tickets for the mini-van are sold in a very Thai fashion,  There is a long booth with about 18 agents selling tickets, one agent for each mini-bus destination.
   When I approached the Ayuttahaya ticket seller she recognized me from last year.  It  gave me a small surge of appreciation that in this huge city someone would recognize me.  Yes, I know...it doesn't take much. :)
