LPQ-BKK.PG942 ETD-1155,ETA 1355.
Boarding-1215,pushback-1221.TO-1224.Landed-1410.At terminal-1428.
A very light load today.pax in 2A,B.5D.10C,D but full from row 13 back.
Before take off I switch to 3D.Good views of the Mekong and LP-
And over the village of the school visit-
About 30 minutes into the flight overfly a mining area and 10 minutes later a large dam with a lot of developement.Then lunch,but first the ceremonial foot shot-
The lunch is not too bad with a chicken salad(larb type) then a cold fried pork salad with sticky rice then a tapioca pudding with 1 lychee.Wine is also served.
After lunch I start reading the airline magazine.The title,Fah Thai, is a little suggestive and I have to pay a visit.The only loo is down the back.it also had a swivel type door that had come off its track-so you could open it from outside but not inside.Fortunately the FAs were listening for the plaintive knocking sounds.
The magazine also had an interesting golf article where Chinarat won the Queens cup Samui tournament with a score of 18 and 268 under pars.At about 1 hour out from BKK the captain came over the PA-"This is your Captain actually".It was to announce some turbulence.
A rather rough landing at BKK and parked on the tarmac about as far away from the International terminal as you can get.The bus was not long in coming and soon through Immigration and had our bag so soon off to the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit.
That is next.
