I finally booked my first trip to Bangkok

[Guest KevinC]

You don't get out of the house much, do you?

[Lucky]

Looking forward to lurkerspeaks' trip report. It will be fun to see Bangkok through a fresh pair of eyes. I hope he only has good things to report!

[Guest lurkerspeaks]

Very excited. Less than 96 hours til departure. I have never been on a plane this long before. Rio was my longest flight before. I really hope the jetlag isn't too bad. I bought a new little cheap chromebook to travel with so I can make reports as time permits.

[Guest KevinC]

Woohoo...I am excited too.

You, sir, are a shithead.

Have a great time, lurkerspeaks! Let us know what your trip is like. Are you flying coach?

[Guest lurkerspeaks]

The sad thing is that it is people like KevinC who contribute to the lack of active posters here.

[Guest lurkerspeaks]

Lucky, I am only coach for the phoenix to/from California segments. The rest is Biz class. I could not manage my fat ass in a coach seat that long.

[Guest KevinC]

And $70 per night hotel sounds good too.

[Guest lurkerspeaks]

I made it to Bangkok. Trying to sleep now since it is 2am so I won't be too jetlagged.

[Guest KevinC]

Really? Who sleeps at 2am when on a fun trip?  I never sleep before the sun goes up in BKK.  LOL.

[Lucky]

Gosh, Kevin, don't you realize that you are a superhuman? Regular people probably need to sleep after some 20 hours of flying and a 2 a.m. arrival at their hotel. You have to factor that in. LOL

Lurkerspeaks-- you should be quite all right traveling this distance in business class.  The first time that I flew to Thailand (on a gay tour)-- I flew coach and was miserable going.  On my way back, I intentionally and deliberately placed myself in coach.  One of the flight attendants was aghast and gave me hell, but I ignored her.  Lucky for me her supervisor interceded and allowed me to remain.  The downside, after which I'd later discovered, was that I was in the Business Smoking area.  

When the plane landed, Sam, my tour director came back to me and relayed that I should have waited doing what I'd done because he could have gotten me into first class where he was flying.  [Sam had been doing these tours for a while, and I presume that he had connections.] 

 

But at any rate-- surely take in all that you can, culturally and otherwise.  Thailand and the Thais are my favorite along with Brasilians.  I've managed to travel there on three occasions and hope that I'd be able to do so in the future as well.  Bon voyage

  "I intentionally and deliberately placed myself in coach. "

Axiom, is that what you meant to say? Or did you put yourself in Business?

[Lucky]

Lurker has been sleeping for 22 hours now! He must be very tired.

I thought the purpose of flying in J class  cabin was to rest and/or sleep comfortably.  Or was it too much money (or mileage points) for you just to sleep?  How many bottles of free alcohol did you drink to get your money worth?

You truly are a useless troll.  Why don't you shut your computer off for a week and maybe we'll get a report from Lurker!

"Flying" and "comfortably" are not words that go naturally together in the same sentence, hardly ever. Class regardless.

You have not done much of it if you do not know that in your marrow-bones.

Tired of the pointless nasty comments.  Suspended for one month.  Feel free to return then or feel free to not.

Lucky, with flights and layovers, it was 28 hours on the way here. Plus, as you can read in my journal, some other factors are in effect.

Bye Kevin.  Feel free to stay away.
