Southeast Asia Program: Safe Arrival

All participants have arrived from their overseas flights. We've just had a delicious Thai meal and are off to catch some Zzzz's.

5:30 a.m. start tomorrow morning! We are headed towards the old capital city (1238--1438) known as "Sukhothai." Sukhothai translates into the "Rising of Happiness."

Signing Off For Now!
