Well here we are in Thailand after leaving home on Monday 6th January.  We caught the coach from Ringwood which was late and we ended up having to wait an hour in the cold and wet. We flew with Emirates on the A380-800 via Dubai to Bangkok. It was an interesting experience travelling by taxi to our hotel I have never seen traffic congestion like it before it should have been a 25 minute trip but took 2 hours but hey ho we are here now at a fabulous hotel ready to start our adventure.
