BKK Here I Come!

Recently found out that Deepavali has been changed from 28th Oct (Tues) to 27th (Mon), which translates to... LONG WEEKEND! We're finally heading to BKK for the 1st time. There was a mad rush (on our part) to source for the cheapest F&E as most of the flight tickets are fully booked.

CX was totally sold out on the return flight, SQ's remaining flight timing was quite poor, TG's surcharge is an amazingly high $270 per pax. As we're gonna be there for 3 days 2 nights only, we wanna try to get the earliest flight out & latest flight back to maximise our time there. Went round many many travel agencies & I've got timings like, 10.30 am there, 4.40 pm back (the best) to 1.30 pm there, 1.30 pm back (the worst). Lots of price variations too.

Although unwilling, we finally settled for Jetstar, 7.30 am flight out on 25th Oct (Sat) & 8.50 pm (BKK time aka 9.50 am Sg time) back on 27th (Mon) at $574 per pax. Ex right for budget airline? TG was even worse at $680 while SQ at $660. Imagine 2+ hrs on a plane with no leg space, no food, no drinks & no entertainment. Gosh! What to do? It's peak period. We were lucky to even get to go.

Guess what? I'm working the very next day. I only arrive in Sg at 12 mn & I don't know how I'm gonna get up at 6 am to go to work. I was advised to bring as little as possible so we can buy as much as possible. We plan to use the bag we bought from HK & bring 2 sets of clothes only, other than the basic passport, driving license for alternative identification, HP & charger, DS/PSP with charger for flight entertainment, fully charged camera (must not repeat the same mistake as our TP/HK trip), S$500 worth of Baht, S$200 cash, 1 credit card (for just in case) & our 1st aid bag that served us since the KL trip with Robert & Enrica, which subsequently followed us to TP & HK.

After this trip, there probably won't be anymore for a long time to come. Gotta save money for a further destination. :P
