Getting ready

So, we're off on Monday 3rd of April. It's an 11 hour flight to Bangkok. But at least it will be direct, and not through Sydney, saving 3 hours.

We'll arrive in Bangkok around midnight, which means the traffic will be minimal, and we'll get to the hotel in a fraction of the time during the daytime.

Aucklanders who think their traffic is bad should spend some time in Bangkok...once, it took me 2 hours to get from Khao San Road to the airport, only about 20kms away. I was an hour late to pick up Beccah, who was not best pleased...
