Captain: Ladies and gentlemen. We'll arrive in the Bangkok International Airport in 30 minutes. The local time at Bangkok is 12:30 in the afternoon. The weather is fair and the ground temperature is 32 degrees Centigrade. I hope you have enjoyed the flight. Thank you for flying with China Airlines and we hope to serve you again soon.

Brian: Well, we'll have a lot of fun by ourselves.
嗯，我們自己會玩得很開心的啦！

是阿，而且我們不會被帶去那些專門賣黑心貨給觀光客的商店。

沒錯！泰國，我來啦！
