Monday, July 3, 2023 – We started our journey to Southeast Asia to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Our adventure started from the Boston airport where we boarded a Korean Air flight for a 15 hour trip to Seoul, South Korea. The flight pattern went North across Canada and Alaska before arriving in Seoul.
Once in Seoul we had a little stress going through security with a very short layover, but fortunately our next flight to Bangkok, Thailand was delayed. We walked on our flight just in time to settle in for the additional 5 hour flight to Bangkok.
For this trip we decided to splurge and upgrade our seats to the prestige class, giving each of us our own little pod to stretch out and be able to fully recline our seats. This is definitely the way to travel for long flights. The food and drink service along with the ability to get some decent sleep made the trip easier. Both of us were able to make the trip without any jet lag.
After our two long flights heading west we landed in Bangkok around 10:00 pm. After a half hour trip to our hotel, The Lancaster, our trip to Southeast Asia was complete.
Our trip to Bangkok did not have any travel disruptions, however, we did have one minor incident once we checked into our hotel. As we tried to quickly unpack and settle in Greg managed to blow a fuse in our room by trying to plug a few things in. Fortunately with a quick late night visit from the hotel engineer to solve the issue, we were able to get all our devices recharged and get ourselves recharged with a night’s sleep in our new time zone.
