WE MADE IT!!
We tried to play it cool on the plane after spying our seats with ample leg room but we gave the game away with plenty if oooo's, Aaaaah's and gasps at our own tv screen with a massive selection of films and a menu for dinner!
Having found our hotel (eventually) we headed out for food and hydration. 2beers, yummy rice and 1half hour foot massage later we are back in our room for bed.
Bangkok is AWESOME! it's so fun and vibrant and ridiculously cheap! ...even though the woman at the bar did try and fob us off with only half our change!
