Two weeks later, he had to fly to Thailand. While he was packing his bag he realized that he hadn`t made a note of the name of the hotel that his company had booked for him. He had checked for his flight online earlier that morning, but he had forgotten about the hotel details. While he was phoning his office, the doorbell rang. His taxi for the airport had arrived. He noted the details of the hotel, picked up his bag and ran out of the house. He was looking forward to a few sunny days in Bangkok. While he was thinking how nice it would be to walk around the city without heavy winter clothes, he suddenly remembered that he had left his passport in his overcoat.
