So we are here. Our Tokyo airport experience left much to be desired, but whatever disappointments we had from that were well compensated for by the Bangkok airport. Quite the facility. We arrived (25 minutes late) safe and sound in Bangkok, and then immediately got in the line for immigration. The immigration officer did not even ask Jasmine and I any questions, but simply stamped our passports and moved us to the luggage pickup. Here is where we expected our nightmares to begin. We had transferred three times, and so did our luggage, with two different carriers, so we expected there to be quite a few complications. Not only did all of luggage arrive safely, but they came out immediately. So we were able to grab our gear and go while all the other passengers had to wait for theirs. Suckers. We then went to the gate to leave the airport, where a man holding a sign reading "Scott and Jasmint Newfet" was standing. We assumed it was us. We asked him if he knew where we were going and he told us that we worked for Regent School and he was taking us to "the garden", where we were to live. So yes, it was us. In we went in the air conditioned taxi for the hour and a half ride to Pattaya, arriving safe and sound in our new place. We were exhausted and excited all at the same time.
