My Thailand Trip

Having said enough about Phi Phi island for the time being at least, let me now introduce you guys to my forthcoming trip.

This would be a 9 day trip and I am arriving at Bangkok on 17th January early morning at 2:30, courtesy Thai Airways. The next 5 nights I would be at Bangkok (Royal Benja hotel). On the morning of the 21st I plan to fly (Air Asia) to Phuket which would really be just a gateway to enter the magical world of Phi Phi. It takes about 90 minutes on the public ferry. But there are speed boats and long tail boats too.

The next 4 nights I would be staying at Phi Phi only to return to Bangkok on 25th. I plan to take the Thai flight back to Kolkata the same day.

This schedule I am afraid is not that laid back as I would have loved to. But you know, a man's got to either care little about everything or do enough work to earn a decent living. Yes it might not be backpacker stuff, but this schedule is not a 'package deal' as well. And yes, unlike the Japs, I do not plan to just take a snap and move on.

More of my travel plans later...
