As I checked in at Melbourne Airport, I told the lady at the Thai Airways counter, "Send one of my bags to Laos, send one to Vietnam, and send the other one to Hong Kong." She said, "We can't do that!" I told her, "You did it last time I flew with you !”
Baggage taken care of, I proceeded through immigration, and waited patiently for the much anticipated boarding call.
Overall, the flight was fairly uneventful, and the hostesses typically Thai in their demeanour. Would fly Thai Airways every time over Qantas, and given a stopover in Malaysia is the last thing I want, Singapore & Malaysia Airlines don’t enter into calculations. The food on the plane was fit for a king. "Here, King!"
The plane landed at Suvarnabhumi airport, and I bid farewell to forum member “Lucky A”, before exiting baggage claim and making my way into the arrivals hall. At this very moment, newbies are faced with a conga line of arsehole “limo drivers”, hoping you’ll part with up to ten times the going rate needed for the relatively brief journey to the Sukhumvit precinct via public taxi. Expect to pay somewhere between 300-400 Baht these days including tolls & airport surcharge, or 1000 Baht plus if you are foolish enough to negotiate with the aforementioned touts. Keep in mind the public taxi rank has now been relocated to the arrivals level, so there is no need to take the elevator down a floor like before.
Arrived at the Dynasty Inn Grande, and given it was barely 8am, had to wait for about an hour before being given my room, providing a chance to catch my breath and have some breakfast. Room rate has risen to 2680 Baht, but I still think it represents pretty good value for what you get and consider the alternatives.
Relaxed in the room for a while then ventured out to purchase toiletries and an ample supply of condoms & KY.
Later in the afternoon, decided to pay a visit to Guess Bar over on Sukhumvit Soi 1, but to my dismay it had disappeared.
There appears to be a few beer bars still operating amidst all the construction, but definitely no Guess Bar !
Can someone tell me where the Guess Bar is located ?
Cheers
