Been to Thailand for work related training recently for a little less than a week. Arrived at airport 2 hours before the departure time for the prerequisite check-in. Since we had time to spare, my colleague and I decided to take the shuttle train to the satellite building for a little stroll - looking out for the price of the liquors in duty free stores.
Stopped by Coffee Bean for a quick coffee break with their daily brew and a scone.
Having the A and B seats and flying North in the evening means you'll have a full view of the setting sun at 35,000 ft above sea level.
On the 110 minutes flight, light refreshments were given - to us, dinner was served. With a choice of chicken or beef, I opted for beef to go with an order of red wine. Portion's not what you would call large either. Just enough for me with still quite a bit of space for more, but not wanting to make use of the puke bag later on should the ride get bumpy, I call it a pretty decent meal.
Accommodation was pre-arranged by the Thai engineers @ All Seasons Gold Orchid, 375 Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, Bangkok.
After unpacking and quick freshing up, we went down for a bit of local tour on our own. We had dinner at a hawker stall right in front of the hotel - which turns out to have the best tom yam fish soup we've had the entire trip this time. 2 of us, tom yam soup with lots of fish slices, boiled fish fillet with fried garlic, thai sambal vege, rice and a big bottle of LEO beer only costs us 220 Baht. That's only about RM11 for a meal with 2 dishes of fish and a resulting stuffed gut, absolutely nice!
We continued walking down to see what's around the corner. Small sellers on motorbikes and trishaws selling more food along the road. Grabbed a grilled minced meat stuffed into a sausage jacket for 5 Baht each. Tasty sh*t!
Not being able to find a normal convenience store, we walked into 7-11 to get beer and chips. Beers for 25 Baht a can and big bags of chips for 20 Baht. I smiled.
Headed back to hotel (seen in picture above with green and blue neon lights) and called it a night.
