I intended to be at Suvarnabhumi Airport at 8:00, and I was only one minute late. My Vietjet Airways flight to Phuket was scheduled for 10:25. Domestic flights can be delayed, but check-in was quick. I like flying with Vietjet Airways because it departs from Suvarnabhumi Airport. The airport was extremely busy. The lively queues,…
After two days in Pattaya, I returned to Bangkok and found the city surprisingly busy. Even though it was the low season, there were large numbers of tourists in the city and at Suvarnabhumi Airport.

First, we stopped for coffee, and then I explained the plan. We were going to explore Kanchanaburi and stay here for one…
