Jan 27 – Bad day

Travel from Khao Sok to Chiang Mai by plane. Should be simple…

Ian flipped in Bankok as we tried to contact home through incredibly complex phone card system. Ian realizes he has lost mobile phone. Flight was delayed four hours as cracks appeared on the runway of the brand new airport at Bangkok. Karen’s bag re-directed 400 miles in the wrong direction. Could not find accommodation anywhere in Chaing Mai – would we be left homeless on our anniversary (Jan 28)?

Could not even get any taxis from the airport to town because of over crowding. Half of Thailand is in this town for the famous Flower Festival.

Terrible day! – (though did have a Thai foot massage at the end which was really nice.)
