Transit to Hua Hin

Got up painfully early at 6 for our flight to Bangkok. Both Laine and I were hurting pretty badly. She indulged in a foot massage at the airport - witch I ought to have! Should mention the scam the Cambodian authorities have going - $20 on-site visa issuance on arrival, yet there's a $25 exit tax! Huh?

We were met in BKK by our fantastic A&K guide, Tukkie! She whisked us away (facilitated by our nameless driver) in a swell black Benz sedan to Hua Hin, some three plus hours away. We chatted about lots of things along the way including, of course, the recent coup, changes in Thailand over the last 15 years, etc. We stopped along the way for lunch at an authentic Thai restaurant catering to local tourists from Bangkok - spicy!

On our arrival at the Evason Hideaway we were shown to our Villa Suite where we unwound before dinner. After dinner (at the end of a very long day) I made my way to the library to write a press release which turned out to be most timely - about the Today show honeymoons I put together. That paid off in the next days because our New Zealand itinerary won a couple of days later!
