Bangkok Arrival

 Its 6 in the morning, and we just arrived in Suvarnabahumi Airport after a 24 hour trip.  Time to start exploring!

The Thai Tuk-Tuk is a common form of transport here in Bankok.  Just try to aviod the 10 Baht rides, which take you to places where the driver receives a commission.  We already got sucked into a "buy cheap tailored suits" scam, and promptly ditched our ride.  


 The grounds at our humble hotel.
 Views from the top of the Golden Mount, which rewards the avid hiker with spectacular views of Bangkok after a 400 stair climb.  (We didn't actually count, but that's what they tell us).
