Day 1,

and off we go!

 into the taxi,

 and we are Bangkok bound to the airport,

 making our way past parked aeroplanes,

 as always in the terminal,

 there is always a fabulous display of orchids and other flowering plants, 

 for a snack we decided to eat at Dean & DeLuca, well if the brand was good enough for Hannibal Lecter, 

above a screen shot from the film, The Silence of the Lambs,

it was good enough for us!

 EVA Air in the background,

 at the gate,

 then into the aircraft, the screens,

 say it all,

 we travelled economy,

 but it has to be said the food was excellent,

then as outside it darkens, for us we were soon in the Land of Nod.
