After 16.5hrs of in-air time, and a hectic hour-short transfer in Incheon S. Korea, we've finally made it to Chiang Mai, Thailand. And while the flights were long, they were some of the most comfortable that we've ever experienced thanks to Korean Air's in-flight meals, modifiable window tint, slightly more spacious seat area with a little more legroom than US airlines, free entertainment, and Gordy's favorite perk - disposable slippers.
Todd and I didn't manage to get much sleep on either flight, but Gordy was out cold nearly from take-off to landing on our second flight. So, he was up bright and early this morning (4:45am) ready for breakfast and some pool time. And, the breakfast did not disappoint! We prepaid for the hotel breakfast buffet because of the great reviews that we read online and it turned out to be the best breakfast buffet we've ever had. The highlights included freshly fried local eggs, a salad bar, fresh fruit (watermelon, papaya, and bananas), waffles with honey-maple syrup and curry-fried rice.
After breakfast, Gordy played in the (cold) pool until his lips turned purple and his body had the shakes. We haven't figured out what's next on the agenda, but it will likely include a walking adventure to find a motorbike rental, a pool to swim laps, and a massage!
