When we landed in Bangkok we had 30 minutes to catch the plane to Chiang Mai and we had to pay the departure tax in baht, so I had to race off and get the right money in baht for everyone in our group. We just made it!
It was filthy hot when we hit Chiang Mai too.

My my my, I can't wait to see these pictures. Hey, do you think you'll run into Angelina Jolie there??? Never know, she owns a home in Cambodia.
Safe travels Mr. New Jersey.
