Despite all bets to the contrary, we didn't manage to kill each other on the flight over. Who would have thought?
The ride from the airport was interesting, Thailand's roads in the main city are way better than I would have thought. Plus getting out of the airport is a snap, so score one for Bangkok over Sydney there. We also saw a bunch of riced up trucks, buses and cabs which was bizarre.
I think the highlight of the ride to the hotel was the warning from our driver "Ann" that we shouldn't head to a certain part of town. Judging by the number of police surrounding that area, and white vans with red lights flashing on top, also filled with cops, that would be where some of the protesters are.
Should be fine though, we're at least a block away from that. If the shit does go down, however, I'm pretty sure we can watch it from the rooftop pool with some cocktails.
