Have also learned to stay away from Air France I often travel (both for work and leisure). I also work for a major European airline company. What experiences do you want to share?

Never been to Ireland though. This weekend I had a nice chat with a Hungarian guy who lived in Dublin, but he said you can easily explore the whole city in 2 days. (?)

Sogeha Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Yes Dublin is small. Belfast would take longer to really see. Be warned though The Republic of Ireland is expensive, especially for eating out. We are also now entering the monsoon season :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sogeha Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Not at all. We only have nine months of bad weather and then three of winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 And here in Alaska it's 9 months of winter and 3 of gnarly weather! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjarneb Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Alaska seems cool actually, want to go there fishing some day. Also, every time I fly above New Founland and see all the small lakes I wish I could jump of the plane with a parachute, a fishing rod and a small tent However, going to my favourite country Thailand again in some days. Business/leasure trip, flying with Thai Airways 777. For those who have never been to Thailand .. you just have to go there some day, it is fantastic. And the people are the kindest there is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 You'd love the fishing here. Those small lakes are loaded with fat Grayling. But the mosquitos will eat you alive! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably not very healthy to use but it keeps the mosquitos far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjarneb Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Thai Airways is a pure pleasure to fly with for sure Never been north of Bangkok actually, so Chiang Mai is one of the places I will visit sooner or later. I usually stay in BKK because of business, but have been at Phuket, Koh Samui, Koh Mak and Hua Hin earlier, when I had time to get away for some days. This time I will spend a week in Krabi during the trip since I still got one week of holidays to spend. I will move there too, hehe. Food is one goos reason, but the people is what attracts me with the country. I don't think you can find a country with more friendly people than Thais Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do. Grab a train in the morning from Hua Lamphong train station to Ayutthaya for a few bucks. Meet one of the many guides over there to drive you around in his tuktuk and continue your journey by nighttrain to Chiang Mai. Worth! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjarneb Posted October 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Thanks for the tips. Will definatelly check it out on my next trip. This trip is already fully booked though, leaving BKK for Krabi today. Have always stayed at JW Marriott in Sukhumvit on my trips here (more than 100 nights during last 2 years). But when I stayed there last time they cheated me and didnt respect the rate which was agreed. So this time I stayed at Hilton Milennium by the river. And when coming back from Krabi we will stay at W. Trying to find a new "home away from home" in BKK after Marriott let me down. Lots of hotels to choose from for sure !!

swdivad Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 There's a good 'mini' Sheraton called Four Points down the street from JW Marriott... It's quite comfortable and has good rates. The hotel bar is a Hooters, which can be a bonus the first few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjarneb Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Isnt it a good feeling? The next trips are only local flights, instead of inter continental ones. Stockholm Sweden this week, and Brussels and Amsterdam next week. Any tips for hotels in Amsterdam btw? Luxury, but still close to the city centre.
