Well after some great fun, lots of lovely food and good company we have left Tokyo. Our favourite moment probably in one of the restaurants with a grill on your table, Chris ordered a big selection of meats but initially all that came out was a gigantic plate of tongue!! After just about getting through it all, out came the "normal" meats. Chickened out a little getting to Narita airport, using a hotel shuttle bus rather than braving the indecipherable train ticket machines again.
Anyway we flew Japan Airlines this time from Tokyo to Bangkok. The lounge in Tokyo was one of the best but although the flight was really nice it wasn't as good as Cathay Pacific or British Airways, probably on par with Qantas. Bangkok airport was completely new, really tidy, straightforward to get around with a great dining hall. We transferred to another plane, and flew to Phuket, back to economy for that one. It seemed the whole plane was a little apprehensive at every judder coming into land, with the recent plane crash here, but it was fine. What a lovely suprise when we got to the hotel though. It is absolutely stunning. Our first glimpse was a huge reception area lit by flaming torches after we got out of the hotel chaffeured Mercedes, complete with very aggressive aircon and some bottles of water and ice cold towels. We are going to love it here for the next five days before heading back to Bangkok. Hopefully we will get some great photos but right now, for the first time, it really feels like a honeymoon.
