Bangkok round three #6

[Noodles] – V’s Flickr, 9th Jan ‘07

Last day of the trip, nothing better to do than to wait for our flight.

They still have the 60 seconds challenge in Bangkok o.O And I got a drink discount coupon out of it.

We call it the Fan-tastic, they call it the McRice. Different names, same stuff. They got pork ones here woot.

Final count of our stuff.

A listing of the cab charges inside our cab to the airport; it certainly took us awhile to hail a cab. The peak hour jam started, and no cabs were willing to take us to the airport until one of the hotel staff came out and helped us to get one. Kudos to the fellow : ) Great service!

Long wait at the airport. As it turned out, our flight was delayed along with a couple of other budget flights. So we had time to burn, and walked around the airport looking for food Z.

And we checked-in, headed for the transit lounge, only to find that the restaurants were at the two extreme ends, left and right. Damn. So we had to push our luggage all the way past the duty free stalls/shops (tourist snares, these stuff).. and headed to the fast food section.

That area was definitely not well-designed, I tell you. Cramped with little way to walk between seats, it became a nightmare when a whole bunch of transit passengers swarmed in. This was how it looked like after that.

Voila.

And the food was blardy overpriced at that, almost twice the price of a normal BK meal outside. It became a matter of price over flavour when I was ordering the food right then.

Pizza with a BK Big Fish meal. Bloody long queue, bloody lousy dinner.

Second-final rant: the toilets were kinda hard to find. They were located near the eateries yes, but behind them. Who the hell would notice them? Yes signboards, beautiful. You don’t expect people to see the signboards by placing them at the extreme corners of the corridor, hidden by the shops. Do you?

And the long walk to the boarding gate. Crap. This post is full of rants -.-
