Just after posting at NRT, we felt another earthquake - I did not hear what the magnitude was, but it lasted a good 15 seconds and made the building creak and lights sway.
Our flight on Thai Airlines was great with excellent service. My only complaint: too many announcements over the PA. You know how it goes. Your pilot makes the announcement about the anticipated duration and altitude for the trip (as if that information makes a difference to the passengers?) and then tells you all the places you will be flying over and what the weather is like at the destination. All I really needed to know is how long the flight would last. Instead we had to hear him babble on and on, first in Thai - then in Japanese - and finally in English. It was useless information to know that we would be flying over Viet Nam, the Me Kong River, Laos, etc., because it was dark the entire flight, and the shades were down. It would not have been so bad, but we were trying to watch a movie at this point.
We are now settling in to the Renaissance Hotel on Ploenchit Road in Bangkok. It is one of the newest hotels here - if not 'the' newest. The candies at the front desk were wrapped in pink paper in honor of it being Tuesday.
