Progress

.ggyWe survived our flights. We figured we we awake for basically 26 hours. Philip got some sleep on the planes. Me - maybe an hour between two flights. Korean Air was great. I read two books and watched five movies, ate decent vegetarian entrees and drank free wine. 

The airports are pretty cool - great architecture with of course, SEA decor.

Seoul

Bangkok

This is us as we awaited start of first flight.

We arrived in Bagkok in the wee hours of the morning. The Hotel driver was exactly where we were told he would be. The drive to the hotel was less than 15 min. This is a little boutique hotel. Very nice, clean, and great air conditioning. 

They served us an excellent breakfast, helped us purchase phone SIM  card from the 7-11 next door, helped us get to supermarket and then took us back to airport to exchange money and catch train for the city center. 

By following this map, we made it onto the train and then onto the subway. Saw our first monk in his saffron colored robe.

We made it to the downtown area of Hua Lampong. Our hostel is actually very nice and close to all means of transportation and lots of small street cafes. 

Sorry- poor picture and it isn't attractive from the street. But it is nice inside and the employees have good English. Last night they had Tango lessons in their small community room, but, alas, we onLy caught the last few minutes.
