Arrival in Thailand (Bangkok)


Well the day finally came and after two long flights with a short layover in Japan we've made it to Bangkok. We managed to get Business Class seats for the first flight , even though Barrett is only 6 due to Syd's "connections", but we weren't so lucky for the flight from Japan to BKK (Bangkok). Back in the cattle car with the mere mortals was bit uncomfortable but we made it. We arrived just before midnight BKK time, about 20 hours after we left.
We survived the Halloween night taxi ride with a driver who thought we was Mario Andretti and made it to The Ambassador Hotel, somewhere downtown BKK. This hotel was obviously very nice at one time, its just that that time is not now.

So we'll head out today and see whats what. Eric...
