It was much better to get a taxi OUTSIDE the airport and ignore the PUSHY taxi drivers. We paid only 300 baht ($12) for a 30k taxi instead of 1000 baht ($40). The taxi didn&#8217;t have a speedometer in his car so it was a rather interesting ride!!! (fast, zipping in and out of 7 lanes).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;We finally arrived at our hotel &#8211; The Indro Regent. It&#8217;s a pretty nice room on the 17th (top) floor. The bed is MASSIVE (superking) and the air conditioning is cool and quiet. Bangkok is SUCH a hot place. The temperature is a average of 35 degrees + 90% humidity (a slightly mild steam room) + pollution.<\/p>\n<p>After a loooooong day we had a great sleep and actually woke up early the next day!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a long and exhausting flight!!!
