One Night in Bangkok
Technically, it was three nights in Bangkok, but the first one didn’t really count, as my flight arrived about 11:45 p.m. By the time I exchanged currency, made it through Immigration, collected my bag, got a taxi and checked into the hotel, it was definitely after 1:00 a.m. Nearly all of the following day was … Continue reading
