"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Thailand: Touchdown at Suvarnabhumi Airport

Because I'm such a sucker for seat sales, I more often than not end up getting the evening flights. This works for me as I can still go to work during the day and go straight to the airport at night. My first time to Thailand was no different, except that this time I snuck out of the office with two other officemates. Barely two weeks after I got back from my Vietnam-Cambodia trip, here I am out of the house again. Fun!



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.
