My mum and I have arrived in Bangkok. The flight was good and the Thai Air crew were great. I'm a bit tired writing this as it's almost 5 am NZ time and I didn't really sleep on the plane. At least it's 11pm here now so all good for a full nights sleep (bring it on).
We've already explored a few markets and been for a little wander around our Hotel. I'm blown away (again) by the number of people it takes for tasks you'd struggle to get more than one person in NZ to do - 5 people involved in our check in to the Hotel! I remember this from previous trips here. I guess it keeps employment up, but it seems like over kill from a Kiwi perspective.
Tomorrow we will explore Bangkok a bit, starting at the floating markets. On Thursday we headed East to catch up with the Trewavas family - I'm so looking forward to that.
