But life comes at you fast when you're 6 and it's well past your bedtime 😂 Heading to the UK it claimed headwinds of 105 mph so couldn't make up time. This should help you going to BKK. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Yessongs Posted March 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2023 Getting "geeked up" for a 3:00pm trip to see the Tower at Swampy today with wifey and one of my friends. NO cameras or video is allowed but.....this should be a great experience to see an operation like this in the flesh. 3rd tallest tower in the world I see. Dinner after with the ladies.... 3 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizondave Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Just for those interested in Krapow's travels and how a 2 hour delay will see a 1 hour late arrival. Flight times now have extra time built in for any departure delays. On long haul you can usually leave an hour late and still arrive close to schedule. Sneaky airlines. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binlid Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Just took my wife to work, on the way home I have to pass a Premier Inn so I thought Why Not! Had a croissant with butter and jam for afters 😄 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Last one of these for 7 months or so 😞 Was going to take 2 ladies, one for each foot, but no 1 was in hospital after a motorbike accident, fortunately not serious. No 3 has returned home to take care of her mum, so had to put up with no 2 by herself. Mind you, she's fast approaching taking over the no 1 spot.... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krapow Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) Wow! Just when I thought my last arrival in Thailand couldn't be topped! Arrived an hour late, for the whole flight to be told the luggage hadn't flown with the flight, due to a 'curfew', and the flight wouldn't have went if had to wait for it all to be put on. Fucking Hell, so in the taxi to King Power. Quick shower and off to buy a pair of shorts and t-shirt. No guarantee we'll get it tomorrow either, they said they'll try, but 300 people, and our luggage will arrive on same flight tomorrow. I haven't even looked to see how late the EVA flight on arrival to Heathrow is late today. To be honest, could be worse, if you were getting a connecting flight to Phuket or wherever later tonight or tomorrow morning, you'll have to make a decision. Go and hope you get it sent soonish, or stay and hope you get it soonish, then go. And I haven't even tried to get my Kasikorn card and money sorted yet 🙃 Edited March 30, 2023 by Krapow 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just change the domestic flight to the following day. So what time did you actually land at Swampy D? How long did it take to get through Immigration?

I guess if it's only a day then not worth it really I had a conversation with them about that very subject, as we were pretty much first through immigration, hardly anyone there, and no one at the children's line, so first to be made aware of the situation and got thr form filled in. I'll post more about it all on a higher level in a day or so, this is in General, where any lunatic can read what's on this level without even being a member.

Can honestly say, EVA disembarked the closest to Immigration I've even seen, and it was the most empty I've seen it. Loads of booths, hardly any queue at anyone of them. We were approached straight away, ushered to the children's lane which was empty. When we walked through, seen no bags, I assumed it was because it was so quick. We even get our sim's sorted in about 3 or 4 mins. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krapow Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Here, you wouldn't want to be going on holiday with me in a hurry ffs.
