Travel in style with Thai Airways.. I guess

Got back from Phuket this morning and came straight to work..

I’m so totally knackered.

I didn’t have to pay for my flights this time. I redeemed the tickets from Thai Airways. Business Class for the first time. I wouldn’t ever pay that much for a domestic flight anyway.

On my way down to Phuket, they used Boeing 734. The plane was small, old and uncomfortable (it’s a surprise there) – even Business Class. The dinner was okay. The female flight attendants seemed to be more friendly than usual. So much that at one point, while I was trying to sleeping and holding myself as it’s a bit cold, a female flight attendant actually got me a blanket and put it on me. Now that’s very strange.

I spent half my time in Patong, and the other half in Kata. Met a few friends and we enjoyed our weekend together. I went out on the piss with a male friend of mine, also his mates. This’s a little embarrassing. You see, I tend to be quite naughty when I’m pissed. And usually make some speeches that, the next day, I wish everyone was so pissed they couldn’t remember a thing I said.

But for some reason, they have a damn good memory when it comes to my silly speeches – no matter how pissed they are.

Phuket is recovering. Slowly. It seems Patong has got back on its feet before others though. Sex always sells.

I just flew back to Bangkok this morning. My fight was at 7:05 AM, which meant I and my friend had to leave her house at 5:30 AM. While she couldn’t close her shop in Patong until 2:00 AM. So, basically, I got only one hour to sleep.

Once at the airport, I thanked her for taking care of me and chooed her away so she could get some sleep. No need to be stuck with me at the airport. Done with check-in and I headed to the lounge straight away. I needed coffee. Having never seen any other airline’s lounge at all, I am pretty sure that Thai Airways’ lounge in Phuket is one of the worst lounges on this planet.

I was so looking forward to getting on the plane. I could hardly keep my eyes open. It’s great that they used a bigger plane on this flight. It’s Boeing 747-400. I got a window seat on upper deck. This one was definitely nicer. Oh boy, I could really get some sleep before I headed to work.

But wait a minute, what’s that noise?!

Dear me… no, you’ve got to be kidding me…

There they were… two Aussie kids running around the upper deck screaming and crying.

Oh well…

So, I turned up at work with a totally dead brain. I was extremely slow today. And got so many things to do. Gosh, I don’t know how I managed to survive today.

But I really need to sleep now. So, I’m finishing this one… and will go to sleep dreaming about the lovely weekend I just had in Phuket.
