From Paro to Bangkok

Travel day! Our group was split into 2 different flights. I’m the afternoon group and I realize that because we got in so early on day 1, I had the advantage of actually spending 10 days in Bhutan.

The morning was lazy as we just went into town for last minute shopping before going to have rustic Bhutanese hot stone baths. Our bus pulled up to a farmhouse so the experience is probably as authentic as can be. My room had the wooden tub but you could clearly see how it protrudes through an outer wall where they can place additional hot stones. There is still sufficient privacy though as one would have to be obvious or make an effort to really peek in. It was definitely needed to help soothe our muscles from the hike.

Paro airport is quite small and there were issues exchanging currency back before and after security. At least there’s a few shops and cafe inside to spend the last of your cash. Luckily we didn’t have too much after the bath.

In Bangkok, smooth though stormy sailing to the hotel where a jacuzzi awaited in my hotel room.Læs mere
