Brussels - Zurich - Bangkok
11 hours in the air !!!

 


 

Brussels-Zurich SN 4059
16:20 - 17:40

On Friday the 11th of may at 16u20 we took off in Brussels, destination Zurich with Swissair. The one hour flight gave the cabin crew barely the chance to serve a drink and a snack.
In Zurich we thought to have lots of time to look around in the airport, but Moniek forgot her purse on the aircraft. So all we did there was searching for her ticket and her passport. At the last minute the ground staff told us that the purse was found and that we could pick it up at the Lost and Found desk.

 

Zurich-Bangkok SR182
20:45 - 12:30

At 20:45 we were invited to board the Swissair flight SR182 to Bangkok, Thailand. Because the flight was full, we got a small seat in the middle of the economy class of a MD11 plane.  There was enough space to sit, move an arm or a leg was a little more difficult.... During the flight the cabin crew served us 2 meals and some drinks, we could see a few movies, but a good night's sleep was rather for business class or first class passengers. 
Just before landing they showed us a movie about Thailand and the airport of Don Muang, Bangkok. Promptly we forgot our rusted muscles and finally we found ourselves in a vacation mood.

 

 

 

 

Bangkok
12:30 - 13:30

When we got out of the airplane, we immediately felt the sultry atmosphere of an exotic environment.  The border control went smoothly and the temporary visa was been approved. We found our luggage under some weird Thai signs and we felt a bit like illiterate people.
The moment we left the airport, we met with the hospitality of Thai people. They propose us to carry our bags, change money, bring us to a hotel etc...But we were a little suspicious (Belgian character?) and took an official Taxi meter to bring us to hotel Holiday Mansion which we had reserved on the internet.  It took the taxi driver 35 minutes to take us from the airport to the hotel. 
And then our adventure in Bangkok begun......
