Arrived safely in Chiang Mai on Friday night with no more travel issues than flying to LA or any US destination.Of course Thailand is different from the US and the hotel did NOT have anyone there to pick me up and I did NOT have the map to the hotel NOR their phone number NOR any Bhat (Thai currency) to pay for a taxi.
I had been befriended by a man on the plane who thought he recognized me. We couldn’t make a definite connection, but he used to live just north of Louisville where I lived for a dozen years. He gave me 1,000 Bhat ($30) to help me out and wouldn’t take any US cash. I'm a lucky man! Eventually negotiated my taxi and was soon sound asleep in a very pleasant room.
