Whilst staying in a hotel in Bangkok all through the night this bird was calling. It kept me awake. I recorded it on my MP3 player. I thought it may have been an owl but I don't think so as I managed to catch a bleary glance of it. I wonder what it was.

I know now as my birdie sister-in-law from Australia recognised it! It was a Koel. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Koel and listen to the sound clip from there.
