Bangkok – Europe

Spent 2 nights at Doubletree Sukhumvit. I stayed there last year and it was good. Usual business: pedicure, shopping and food. MBK rules. Taxi to BKK airport was 500 THB and 5 am it takes less than 30 mins. Since we knew that we were booked on Finnair I was curious about their new business class. You can find a lot of reviews through the internet. Finnair decided to it use one of the usual seats with reclining functions and lounge positions. No they have a seat that is already a lounge chair. I put myself on the side: what a great thing.

We had a double seat and once the small wall was set away it was like a sofa feeling. Amazing. Enough room to store your belongings. The cabin doesn’t not have overhead compartments in the middle which gives you the feeling of so much space. (ok knew that from the old business class already…) The crew was top notch, the selection of food and beverages as well. IFE is fantastic. Which makes it a 5 star flight experience.

Landed in HEL after 12:03 hours and surprisingly it didn’t feel like that. Short stopover for the transfer to Stockholm. What a difference, coming from a jumbo to a good old ATR turbo propelled aircraft :)

Found our way to the pre-booked airport hotel and …. got trapped here because of the weather conditions in MUC … At the moment we have no idea how to get home. :)

Koh Phayam – Bangkok

Guys time to leave the island. We had a relaxing week, too mich rain 🌧️ but god food , nice sunsets and peaceful views of the beach.

We talked with JJ about MM25 and made a huge progress. If everything worked out… then we will have a great time together with family and friends next year. Remarkable fact: it all french people matching the prejudices. Katherine did not and so we had some good times together. On the way to Ranong there was no rain , we made it in time to the airport and had some lunch… freshly baked bruschetta from Japanese bakery. And the pain in my body is a little better thanks to Pha massage.

Back in Bangkok the impossible happened.. a metered taxi from DMK to Doubletree Hilton Sukhumvit!!! What a luck. It’s Christmas time and at the Emporium they have the most horrible christmas tree ever . The angel, if this shall be one on the top reminds of Chucky . How creepy is that!!!
