Dec 26 Chiang Mai 3

We flew into Don Muang (the old airport) on Bird airlines. Only the symbol is just a beak. Odd. The old airport looked familiar though, as did the old/new/first superhighway.

Got a couple of interesting pix on the drive from the airport to the hotel though.
One of an old Bangkok bus where the bus ticket taker had a ticket roll tray like when we used to get bus tickets as a big group of school kids -- 50 statang per ticket back then.




The other picture is of a tuk-tuk. We didn't ride any on this trip, but saw lots. I don't think the two boys and I would have fit on one together.



[Writing the next morning] Last night we ate supper on our own at a so-so Chinese restaurant. Found a western-style supermarket though and got Micah some shaving cream and got a few cookies/snack for Justin.
