Day 11 - Bangkok Airport

Day 11 - Monday, July 30, 2007

Once again, we woke up at around 6AM and ate breakfast at our hotel at 6:30AM. We headed to the Phuket airport to catch a 9AM flight to Udon Thani (northeast province of Thailand) for our vision trip. With all the traveling, we started to feel like rock stars.

First, we took a one hour flight from Phuket to Bangkok. We had a six hour layover in Bangkok. The guys were tired. Myles was still sick.

We had six hours to kill in the Bangkok airport before our flight left at 4PM.

Once again I find you my friend, mango sticky rice.

Not very exciting airport pictures.

Kio bought about 30 postcards at the Bangkok airport.

And he also filled them out and mailed them the next day.

Fadi checking his email. Wi-fi throughout the entire airport.
I guess he got tired and decided to take a nap.

Suzie taking a nap (she'd kill me for posting this, but she doesn't read the blog).

Finally, we arrived in Udon Thani at around 6PM.

Outside our hotel, we saw this Ferrari. It looked out of place since Udon Thani is one of the poorer cities in Thailand. After we checked into our hotel, our team had a one to two hour prayer and worship session.

We ate dinner at the hotel.

Myles and I.

Another restaurant picture.

After dinner, we took these taxis called Tuk Tuks to a sidewalk massage. Suzie, Kio, and I rode in one Tuk Tuk.

Fadi, Katie, Myles, and Nan rode in the other Tuk Tuk.

Our Tuk Tuk driver let me take a picture riding his Tuk Tuk.

Then he let Kio pose. Don't know what's the deal with all the ornaments on the vehicle.

Here we are getting a one hour Thai massage. Cost was about 120 Baht ($4 US dollar). Once again, this activity was paid out of our own pockets.

After the massage, we walked around the streets to find something to drink. Not a very exciting day today since we spent a majority of the day at the Bangkok airport. See you guys tomorrow.
