From the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Pattaya Blog Archive [originally published 7 December 2009].
Today’s post is a quickie. It went live while we were still flying to Thailand via New York. Our thought was to write something everyday to keep our site fresh.
I’ll see you out there…!
Your regularly scheduled programming will continue next week. Stay up-to-date here.

Yep, we are still flying. Despite all the advances in technology it still takes forever to travel around the Earth. You never realize how large our planet is until you have to fly to another continent. Yet despite the long haul, there is something magical about entering a plane in one country and arriving in another. From the passenger perspective, your environment stays the same: you can’t see the changes that are happening around you until you make your first step into your new world.
We’ve brought lots to occupy our time: Magazines, playing cards, iPods, movies on our computer and yes those sleeping pills to help us cope with 18 degrees of pitch on our seats, though it feels like no change at all. Thanks to seatguru.com we’re sitting in some of the better seats that economy offers – but make no mistake it’s still grueling. Check them out each time you fly to ensure your seats are the best available.
Arrival time in BKK is 23:15 just in time for bed… er lunch… er bed. Ah, the joys of traveling.
Thanks for reading. Remember to vote and…
We’re closer to seeing you out there!
