| One of the many that will greet you upon arrival |
Suvarnabhumi Airport is huge. Getting to the Immigration counter was a bit confusing for us though since even at almost midnight there were so many people and so many shops that you'd think you're already either on your way out of the airport or you're near the pre-departure area waiting for your flight out. I always had this notion that before anything else, the first thing you'd be able to do is pass thru immigrations, no shopping on the side first. Succeeding trips told me otherwise.

| Immigrations |
After passing thru immigrations we headed out to the taxi stand where you tell the person at the counter your destination (or in our case we showed her the name of the hotel written in their language) and you'd be pointed to a cab waiting. We booked a room at the Lamphu House, which is only a few blocks away from Khao San Road. We paid THB770 for a triple room with aircon and ensuite bathroom. The room was spacious and even had its own balcony. The location was good for us since we really wanted to experience the whole Khao San vibe but aren't ready yet to 'get down and dirty' and stay at Khao San itself. We liked how the place was tucked in a quiet cobblestone paved road but close enough to where the action was.

We went out to have a beer at one of the pubs near the guesthouse. The beer was cheap but we got charged 20B for a small bucket of ice. We could hear the music coming from Khao San Road but decided against checking it out since we plan to do a DIY trip to Ayutthaya early tomorrow morning.
