Greetings from Bangkok!

The team arrived safely in Bangkok around 6:30am, after an 18-hour flight from LA to Bangkok. Everybody is in great spirits and can't wait to start clinic tomorrow! Thai Airlines is phenominal. The seats were so comfortable, and we got to watch our choice of NEW movies, cartoons and even shows on Thai culture.

We have an approximate 7-hour layover at the Bakgkok airport where most of the team is bonding over espresso and a dice game Jennifer Bishop brought. Then we fly to Chang Rai and then take a bus to Phayao.

Please keep reading, as I'm sure clinic tomorrow will bring some amazing stories!

Love to our families at home - we miss you!
