We were up and watching the sail in to Port Kelang this
morning, and taking it all very easy because our flights to Thailand were scheduled late in the day,
and potentially tiring. Today we made
our journey from Port Kelang Malaysia to Bangkok by air, for our 7 night stay, seminar
and Siam Care update before re-embarking in Abu Dhabi on 3/4/2015. The departure and transfer were uneventful
and the flights good, for which we are both very, very grateful, and mindful
that many others at the moment have had such unbearably horrible experiences in the Alps.
Thinking about those passengers and their families now. Being on two A320’s certainly focussed our
minds.
The flight was KL-Singapore and then Singapore to
Bangkok. Fun with currency exchange in two airports and
very grateful for plastic too! Pounds, US dollars, Singapore Dollars, Malaysian Ringits and Thai Baht have all had some stick in the last 3 days.
We arrived just after midnight at the airport and around 01:30 in the hotel, the Hilton Doubletree, are settled in our room, thanks to a lovely young man who chatted to us all the way. There was a bit of a rude awakening at 6 this morning when the alarm went off in the room – steep learning curve! We now have the alarm switched off but for about 45 mins it was on snooze. We still managed an extra 3 hours sleep after that. We are now enjoying the Sawadees, the Wai’s, the smiles, the vast space in the suite, the Thai breakfast, the tasty papaya and other unrecognisable local fruits. J For now we are just finding our way around, visiting the restaurant, the pool and the local shops, and sussing out the public transport around here. We also plan night market and the Khlongs before our Siam Care friends begin to arrive tomorrow and Sunday.

So I will say bye for now and be back here again tomorrow, or maybe even later today, maybe from one of those beds. xx
