Thailand, part I, Travel

After about 24 hours of travel we arrived at our first destination in Thailand: Koh Lanta. The 24 hour trip did included:

• watching a very predictable Kevin Costner movie: The Guardian. Abour every third line was totally predictable and the plot was a collage of standard drama/adventure movie story bits.
• Running around Bangkoks new airport trying to fuigure out where out luggage is, how we get on our new flight to Krabi and why, why, why Thai Airways can transfer luggage to domestic flight for all other domestic destinations except Krabi?
• A cell phone loving non english speaking minibus driver. His reply to the question: "how are you" was answered with "2 and half hour" which we took to be the time for us to reach Koh Lanta from Krabi. No more conversation followed, as soon as we got out of the airport he started talking very discreetly in his cell phone.

That's about it. We are now in Koh Lanta. More on this later...
