On the day we left, we had a flight back to Bangkok that left around noon. We left the resort around 10am and of course the day we leave had the best weather and the calmest seas.

Since our flight was a domestic flight only, we didn't have to get to the airport that early. The Thai Royal Silk Lounge was being renovated so they had a temporary one set up, which was way too small. We were on a 777-200ER for the short flight and it was very comfortable. This was an international configuration for the business class, but still had their old business class seats.

Of course we arrived at a bus gate. I knew my luck wouldn't last. I do like taking the stairs to and from a plane but not at Bangkok because the buses take forever to load and to get to the terminal.
After arriving our bags took a while to get to baggage claim. We booked our airport transportation through the Waldorf=Astoria hotel. It was quite the luxurious experience in our Mercedes Benz S500 AMG. I've never been in a car so nice. I felt like a celebrity.
When we arrived at the hotel after about almost an hour in the car, we were whisked directly up the elevators to our room and checked in there. The service was top notch. Every single thing about the hotel was perfect and so nice.

The Waldorf was so nice that we didn't even want to leave the hotel. We had dinner at the Brasserie in the upper lobby. It was such a great and memorable meal and definitely one of the best French meals I've ever had.
