VH-KDK Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I was hoping to enjoy a pleasant trip to Northern Thailand last night but as is the norm these days it was not to be. 8. Shortly after departing Don Mueang and turning north, flight curtailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Bangkok Airways liveries Gerold, many different designs on their fleet and it makes a nice change from some of the unimaginative liveries that some airlines put their planes out with.

I LOVE that flying bus, I guess it's an "Air" bus! Thanks Jack. On one of my early trips to Thailand a friend said we would catch the Airbus up to Takhli and I thought that a plane would cost too much. I was then told there that it was the air conditioned bus as opposed to the orange ones with drop down windows which as it turned out were sometimes a better choice. We were on an orange bus one day when we got side swiped by a semi and came to a stop locked together. Then everybody noticed at once that it was a petrol tanker. The front entrance was blocked so suddenly 60 people were trying to squeeze out of the rear exit. I went straight out of the window and then beckoned several other passengers to do the same. The roads are scary over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
