In mid-October 2022 we began an anticipated two-year journey away from our home in Portland, Oregon USA. We were in Thailand for about two months, but the first few nights of our journey we nursed our jet-lag in Singapore. We’ve done this jet-lag stop before and got a chance to see some more city sights too. In Singapore, we stayed at Hotel Boss (Superior Double $153 /night) just nine transit stops on the MRT from the airport and 20 minutes walk to the Little India neighborhood. Yeah for little India, big India, any India! We flew United Airlines coach from Portland, OR through San Francisco to Singapore for US$510 one-way, including seats and baggage fees per person.
Our ultimate destination for the first month in Thailand is Chiang Mai. We flew non-stop from Singapore on Scoot Airlines (Singapore Airlines-owned lower cost airline) for US$205 including seats and baggage fees per person. The three different hotels for our stay are listed below along with some activities highlights.
