We arrived in Bangkok at 10:30 pm local time last night. We had no significant problems with our flights. The team was very impressed with our experience on JAL - Japanese Airlines. The service was top-notch and the food and amenities were wonderful. Sleeping during the trip was interesting. I slept in small segments of time , usually 20 minutes for the most part. I did get a 2 hour sleep in on the Tokyo to Bangkok leg. None-the-less, for having little sustained sleep over the past 2 days I felt pretty good. Thanks to a Thai Rotary Past District Governor we were treated like diplomats in getting through immigration and customs. My first impression of Bangkok is how big it seems. There are large skyscrapers spread across miles.

The Rotary International Conference is occurring in Bangkok right now and we are staying at one of the official hotels. Some members of the mission team arrived several days ago to attend the conference. Wednesday is a day of rest and sightseeing before traveling to Lopburi on Thursday .
