The flight was in schedule and we reached Bangkok airport at 8 a.m. We were too early for hotel check in time and we lingered around the airport to have some snacks and drinks. Our elder daughter SMS us that the hotel room had already been checked in by her and we could collect our room key from the front desk anytime we wished. We took taxi ( 45 minutes 380 bahts) to hotel.
