Our last day – unfortunately. We had arranged to meet at 9am to head off to Chatuchak market. Unfortunately some (the late night revellers) were a bit tired and emotional, but nevertheless made the 9am call. They did not last long though.
Â
The market is huge and it was a very hot day so Greg and Carolyn and Tom and Donna made their way back to the hotel and airconditioning. Alex and Emma shopped on their own, as did Allira, Mel, Sarah and Michael. Bron and Mark thought they knew where they were going, but once inside this “monster†they were bamboozled (thanks Duncan). We managed to find our way back to each other and decided we also needed air conditioning.
Â
We needed to check out of the hotel by 4pm, so we all met up, pooled the luggage and a few of us went for a massage, or last minute shopping. After dinner we were picked up at 8pm for our trip to Suvarnabhumi airport and our long flight home. Most of us were able to sleep on the way home, except for Greg, who looked very tired when we arrived in Melbourne. Luckily the airport was fairly quiet, and after gathering all our luggage and getting through customs, we back to reality and our wonderful holiday was over.
Â
After arriving at Jetport parking, we discovered that we had a flat battery and we had to wait another 2 hours to arrive home.
Â
We all had a great time, have made new and ever lasting friendships and have fantastic memories of Thai 09!
