Thailand - as I see it.
It is our last day and we got up, packed and went with Rob and On to see the work being done on the house. They have put up some more of the foundation posts. Most of the posts have been set and they just keep working steadily. Songkran, the national holiday of water is in a couple of days so the workers will have a few days off. Since it is the hottest time of the year, during the Songkran Festival, the Thai New Year that is a time to honor elders and revered people, everyone throws water and there are misters all over.
We then went to lunch at the nice Italian Restaurant and then to the massage parlor for one more massage. They were so happy to see us. We all got a foot massage and they gave us some small bananas as a gift and hugged us and said they will miss us. We had a few pictures taken with them.
Then we got back on the motorbikes and went back to the hotel and played a hand of hand and foot. Rob and On took some things back to their home and dropped off one motorbike. We then got a red taxi, a real red shirt taxi, one of the protesters taxis with the red flag on it. We never saw any protests, just the taxis once in a while with the red flags. Rob went to the airport on his motorbike and On went with us in the taxi. We also dropped off three other people on the way.
Rob helped us check in our bags and he managed to get them checked in all the way to Ft Myers even though we don’t leave from Bangkok until 5:55 AM tomorrow morning. We have an 8:50 PM flight tonight and it takes one hour. We then check in for our flight home at 3:55 AM. And the flight leaves at 5:55 AM. We are in the Royal Silk Business Class Lounge now and waiting for our flight. There are hundreds of mosquitoes and we have a tennis racket to kill them. One of the hostesses killed twenty for us and then gave us the racket. The racket is charged from the outlet and it zaps the mosquitoes. We had a nice flight on Thai Air in Royal Silk Class. Then we were in the Bangkok Airport and had to wait until the line opened at 3AM. We then were taken to the Sky Club Lounge and we had something to eat and drink until our flight. The flight was five hours and very nice. We were met in Tokyo and taken to the Sky Club Lounge there for 10 minutes before our plane loaded. We now have an 11 hour flight to Detroit in small seats with three across and we are in the middle and window. We slept a bit, had food three times and four movies. Then we flew three more hours to Ft Myers. It was a safe and wonderful trip from beginning to end.
