The moment I step into South Korea, I am bombarded with Gucci, Prada, and other overpriced accessories. Although the designers are distinctly Western, no one could mistake these shops for a common American mall. A single stiletto is artfully presented in a display window, Santa's elves are sexy Asian girls with nice butts... if I wasn’t suffering from sleep deprivation, I’d be tempted to explore the galleries of fashion. My legs, however, can hardly support my body, let alone the mountainous luggage strapped to my back. Besides, the structured order is a little unsettling. Although I’m sure it has great feng shui, it feels… militaristic.
Thank Eru Bangkok’s airport is different! Although it’s composed of the same, gray stone, the walls are covered in bright paintings of gods both ferocious and benevolent. Brahma and Krishna tower above the Christmas trees, somehow less intimidating than the $500 sunglasses of Seoul Airport .
Even Thailand’s airplanes are more colorful. The seats are striped with magenta, royal plum, and gold, much more appealing than the beige blandness of United Airlines. The flight attendants are wreathed in purple, which contrasts nicely against Korea ’s cream. Perhaps this is just my bias. Thailand is, after all, my maiden voyage. Will the country be as exciting as its airport portrays it to be?
I’ll let you know.
