Upon arriving at our AirBNB, a locked gate greeted us. No one answered the numbers we'd been given.
Bewildered, we asked a neighbor if she knew the caretaker. She invited us in while searching for someone to call him. We sat on the living room floor and watched The Huntsman: Winter's War --dubbed in Thai-- with her children.
She came back to cheerfully announce that Earth would arrive "in one hour." She offered to cook us dinner while we waited.
All told, we waited an hour and a half for Earth to arrive. He glanced at us to see if we were angry-- we weren't-- and then showed us around the apartment as if nothing had happened.
Oh Thailand, with its unprecedented sense of hospitality and punctuality!
