Trip to Thailand (Post #1)

Hi family and friends! Here's an update of our trip to Thailand thus far. On Thursday we left on a shuttle bound for Vancouver and got on a Singapore Air flight. (Singapore Air puts U.S. airlines to shame.) The flight took 11 hours and then we stopped in Seoul, South Korea for an hour and a half. From there we took a six and a half hour flight to Singapore. We got in at about 11:30 at night and wandered the airport until about 2 am. Matt and I got a hotel room for 6 hours in the airport so that we could get some decent sleep and a shower. At about 8:30 we boarded an about two and a half hour flight to Bangkok. We took a taxi to the Avana hotel in Bangna, which is near an area Matt served in. We walked around the area and went to the local market and ate nam tog and phad kraphao. We looked for an apartment in the area and found one across the street from the market for about $120 a month.
