We'll soon be off for our next trip to Myanmar, Bhutan and Sri Lanka, with Bangkok as a base. At nine weeks this will be our longest trip together for Heather and me. By coincidence all three countries are primarily Buddhist, although I didn't know that about Sri Lanka until we started researching.
We're flying Emirates through Dubai (12 hours to Dubai, 4 hour layover, 6 hours to Bangkok). I messed up scheduling our next flight from Bangkok to Yangon -- I wanted to have a day rest in Bangkok before flying to Yangon; but missed that we arrive in Bangkok +2 days, not +1 day. We arrive at Bangkok at Suvarnabhumi Airport at 7:35am and depart from Don Mueang International Airport (the other airport in Bangkok) at 11:35am. So we have three hours to get through customs, get our baggage, take a taxi across town (Google Maps says it's between 40-80 minutes at that time of day) and check-in an hour ahead of departure. Might be close. There are 15 flights a day between Bangkok and Yangon so if we miss our flight there's others we can take.
We're taking the fancy new Union-Pearson Express to the airport as it's rush hour. Next time I blog hopefully we'll be in Yangon!
