Back to Bangkok!

Considering the seat, I did get ome sleep on the bus. Dad said that it was the worst night of his life!

We got to Yangon about 7:00am, then got a shared taxi to the airport for $5. Now, we have a 12 hour wait until our flight leaves! Before going through security, we walked across the street from the airport and had breakfast at an open air restaurant, then we headed back to the airport and went through security. Unfortunately, we couldn't check our bag until after 5:00pm, so we sat around most of the day with our packs, me reading and dad doing crosswords. Every once in a while, we'd get up to walk around a bit, but it was a long day.

Lots of men at the airport chew on betel, and they spit it in the garbage cans in the airport.

The baggage check for our flight opened up about 5:45. We checked our bags and hurried through customs, then to the airport departure area, expecting to find a restaurant, we were so hungry. Nothing, no food, no shops, nothing. Not much of an international airport.

The flight left early, about 7:45. Nice new aircraft, only about 3/4 full. We even got a meal served to us, chicken sandwich, it was very good.

We arrived in Bangkok, and went through customs. Customs wasn't nearly as crazy this time as it was when we first got to Bangkok. Really no lineup to speak of this time, so we passed through quickly. We got our bags, and took a public metered taxi to Koh San Road. We walked to Thai Cozy House, and they were full. We didn't make a reservation. When we were there, they suggested another place, 5 minutes walk away, so we followed buddy to it. Not a very good deal, no TV or fridge, no breakfast for 900 baht. But it's 11:00pm at night, and we don't much feel like walking around trying to find another place.

Dad ued the internet and found out he has no medical coverage, and my Gram in Nova Scotia is not doing too well, so he is going to try to get back to Canada early.

We went to McDonalds for supper. As we walked down Koh San Road, someone had a baby elephant on Koh San Road. Great, the one and only time when I didn't bring my camera!

After McDonalds, we walked back to Thai Cozy House so dad could book a room for himself for tomorrow night. I'm going to head down to Krabi tomorrow night.

To bed about 12:30.
