A reasonable start for once – our flight isn’t until 12.50 and given we’re 5 minutes from the airport we don’t have to leave until after 11.00. Our flight’s slightly delayed but we’re back in Bangkok at 14.15 or so – this is the fourth time we’ve ... Read more >

This will be a short one, because days 4-6 mostly seem to involve sleeping ;-) We're definitely still playing catch-up, but it's nice that we've got this downtime at the start to make sure we're ready for the rest of the trip. It's fair to say though ... Read more >
