It's off to Thailand again. The Millennium Hilton in Bangkok just opened this year so we decided to give them a try. While it's different then the Conrad, We would stay here again. It's right on the Chao Phraya River and has a totally different feel. If you can walk a little over a KM it's within walking distance to Temple of Dawn, The Reclining Budha, The Grand Palace, & the Temple of Junk(the boat).

After a couple days it's down to Phuket via Air Asia. I think next time we will use a full service airline only because of the baggage limitations. If you can keep your checked item to one piece of 20kg or less they are fine. Go over and you will pay. We brought no dive gear so we were OK. Again we stayed at the Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa. Still a Great Hotel! We used West Coast Divers as our Dive operator again. While I learned that the boat behind us served pancakes, I'd still use them again. We did get beat the other boat back by 20 minutes.

On our way back through Bangkok we stayed again at the Conrad Bangkok. We enjoy relaxing in the Diplomat Bar listening to live Jazz. Arlee Leonard was there again for the third time. Check out her myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/arleel.
