FuramaXclusive Sathorn Bangkok

I arrived late into Bangkok; a medical emergency forced the plane from Australia to land in Brunei. The woman got wheeled off the plane and passed by me. I've never understood medical emergencies on short flights... If you're that sick, don't get on the plane! Perhaps I'll see things differently if it ever happens to me. The taxi driver got lost from the airport. Luckily he was smart enough to drive me to a 5 star hotel with an English speaking concierge who I showed my map to. Got to the hot...

OMG 2 hours to get o my hotel, as I landed in peak hour traffic, instead of 35-40 minutes. A wild storm erupted over Bangkok that night and as I was on the 12th and top floor of the hotel it felt like the roof would cave in. It was horrid. Next day I set off to Chatachat market. I was going to spend 2-3 hours there and stayed 7hrs. It is an amazing place. I was very proud of myself, taking the sky train and changing stations to get there and back from the market.

LOove that Bangkok airlines, Looooove Bangkok and Furama xclusive! Can't wait to get to those markets, sky bar and the food! It's late but I'm excited to be here, the people are so friendly and helpful. Not that the chinese weren't.

As Mika and Remi played chasings around her hotel she said that she wished her daughter could have a sibling to play like that. She unlike others will be ab...

First day in Bangkok, we set off for Chulabook bookstore. Once there we cornered anyone who would listen, trying to figure out what sort of books thai children would most benefit from. We had raised a whopping grand total of $1222 (au) for our school in Koh Lanta. After much confusion we found what we were after and loaded up the baskets. We had well over 300 books which only came to around $488 so thought we'd wait until we got to Koh Lanta to before we allocated the rest of the money. Books...

So we left Koh Lanta on the 29th of July and flew out from Phuket airport. Ziggy on a flight bound for Sydney and us on a flight to Kuala Lumpur. We took off the next day for Krabi and ran though the airport to connect with our other Bangkok air flight to Samui. We were only on the ground for 3o minutes! The landing in Koh Samui was hairy and we were a little freaked out.

We checked into a large resort which was rather impersonal. I was feeling a little nostaligic for Koh Lanta and wis...
