Land of Smiles

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Its been a while posting here since I return from my US trip recently. Very busy with work.

Taking a break this weekend. Singapore and Thailand started VTL 4 days ago on the 14th so I decided to visit the family, not been back almost 2 years.

See how quiet the Suvarnabhumi Airport is in this video. Visited this Thai Airways lounge for the first time.



Image

Image

Flight was 08.00 I arrived at the gate at 07.35 was shocked to find it empty and everyone boarded so early

Image



I asked staff if I am the last passenger she said yes. I was embarrassed and apologized. She said oh no problem because there are only 4 yes FOUR passengers in this flight 😱

One passenger here
Image

and 3 passengers here
