Stupid LAX to BKK question

Okay, I know I'm just being paranoid, but just wanted to get a teeny confirmation from you experts.

I'm leaving from LAX to BKK on Thai Air on that late Wednesday night (2230 hours) nonstop flight. I don't land in BKK until Friday morning (0640) right? The Thai Air schedule says the arrival time is +2 days from the departure date, but nowhere does it actually give me the real arrival date so I just wanted a final, final confirmation before I book my hotel! TIA for tolerating such a silly question.

Peg, 2 days is correct. You'll be crossing the international date line, so even though you are only traveling 17 or so hours, you will arrive BKK Friday morning.

Correct. These late flights from US/Canada to Asia are very cool:

- Husbands can book the flight so the couple can fly out of their wedding anniversary eve.

- Ladies (and some guys) can fly out on their birthday eve, and they will never have to worry about aging.

Meanwhile, coming eastbound on an early flight from Asia, you can eat 7 meals in one day and still won't over stuff yourself. For example, breakfast at hotel, a snack at the airport after checking in, 3 meals on the plane, and you get to the West Coast early afternoon! Enough time to have at least a late lunch and dinner.
