Chiang Mai to Bangkok - 23 Feb

Niran and Taong picked us up at 10:30am and transferred us to Chaing Mai International Airport.  All went very smoothly with the check-in despite being slightly short on time. 
We were greeted by quite a contingent in Bangkok.  Our Guide, Wanna from Exotissimo Travel was there to greet us as planned.  In addition, Dr. Jonathan Chan, Associate Dean for International Relations Chair, and Dr. Nippon Charoenkitkarn Dean of Informational Technology were there to greet Greg and whisk him away to King Mongkut’s University of Technology of Thongburi where he enjoyed a tour and provided a talk.   I was whisked to the opposite side of town to the Sukhothai Hotel where I unpacked and had a nap.
At 6pm sharp, Greg arrived at the hotel with Jonathan and we headed out to a Japanese restaurant (forgotten the name) for dinner with Nippon his wife, son and daughter, and a visiting Professor Jim (forgot his last name) from Ryerson and his wife.
