Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok

 We arrived safely in Bangkok for a quick night stay (3 hours) at Suvarnabhumi Suites, about 5 mins away from the airport. It's funny when you arrive in Asia how quickly you are reminded that as big as our city seems, and how crowded we might feel, in Asia personal space is so different. They really do live on top of each other.

The flights was long but we survived except for a little back pain. Economy overseas flights make even the hardest mattresses seam like a cloud. 

Suvarnabhumi Suites hotel is small clean and efficient. Though our cube superior has no window, it's clear when you see the hood that the window wouldn't provide a good view regardless.

We crossed the street to a local bar that was very busy for a quick eat. Two pepsi, Some papaya salad, some ground chicken larb, and a very delicious gai pad thai (chicken), surrounded by locals. Total price 200 baht.  That's about $6. We couldn't even finish it. Yum I love Thailand! See the pictures below.

P.S. Sammay your haircut is perfect. 22 hours of travel, wearing a beanie an eye mask, and neck pillow, sweltering heat and my hair looks exactly like it did when I left San Francisco on Sunday.
