First Night in Bangkok.....

finally, after weeks of anxious waiting and wondering whether we'd be able to make it or not, jon and i flew to bangkok on the night of march 19, 2008 for a well-deserved, albeit short vacation. actually, nini, rob, and miguel also flew to bangkok that night but they took the philippines airlines flight while jon and i took the thai international airways flight, which left the old manila international airport an hour ahead.

after a 2-hour and 50-minute flight, we arrived at the suvarnasbhumi airport in bangkok safe and sound. after barely an hour of waiting at the arrival terminal, we hooked up with the rest of the gang.... and from the airport we took a cab to rachaprarop tower mansion, our home base while in bangkok.

upon arrival at rachaprarop, the first order of business was dinner.... which we had in-house at bob's cozy apartment unit. incidentally, this was also our (jon and me) first taste of authentic thai cuisine.... and it was fantastic!!! what we had that night were basically the same food we ordered over and over again whenever we ate "in-house"!!! hehehehehe

perhaps, jon will feature them in his next entry.....
