Ok, there was actually one more stop. Our flight back to Dallas departed from Bangkok so we had to spend one more night in our least favorite Asian city. We had to choose between staying at a sad airport hotel which would make our 8 am flight the next day a little less painful, or sleeping in the downtown area and attempting to make the best of our final stop.

We decided to go out with a bang and used Chase points to book a room in the hotel Lebua. The sky bar is the highest one in Bangkok, and also happened to be featured in the Hangover II. When we arrived, we were upgraded to a 2-bedroom suite with a balcony. More room than we knew what to do with. The view from the top was gorgeous, though the drinks were probably more expensive than any place I’ve ever been in the world. Which is funny considering that everything on the ground in Bangkok is dirt cheap compared to most places. The most inexpensive thing on the menu (including a light beer) was $30! We opted to just enjoy the view and have drinks elsewhere. Still, it was a fun way to end our trip before rolling out of bed at 5 am the next day for our 20+ hour journey home.
