Finished up a 3 day trip to Yangon and now it is back to Seattle!
Took a Thai airways flight to BKK which was an A330.
Flight time is only an hour.
Did not realize there were so many travelers, thought it was only a small plane.
But there was a huge group of Aussie and Japanese travelers, both tour groups.
After boarding and take-off, we were served a box of food which had some really tasty fried shrimp.
The coconut dessert was Oishi as well! :)
Actually amazed that the crew could manage to serve a full flight of 200+ people with drinks and food in under an hour.
Arrived at Bangkok airport.
Have not been here since I was a kid.
Transferring to Korean Air for my onward flight to ICN and then to SEA.
The ground staff at Yangon did not issue my onward boarding pass so on arrival at BKK, I had to show an electronic ticket printout to the staff before I could get to the KE counter.
It was a nightmare for me as I did not print out my itinerary and was refused entry.
Finally found an Internet cafe and was able to get a print out. Cost $4.
Took a while to get the boarding pass and then headed to the shared First lounge near the counter.
It was not the best of lounges but hey, what can you do!
Had a quick soup and headed to the gates.
On boarding, the ground staff did not bother to board the Premier class people first and the boarding lane was roped off. Couple of us just decided to remove the ropes and on we went. :)
I got seat 2A again in Korean Air Kosmo Suites which is really nice!
This is a relatively short flight though, only 5 hours.
Turns out I am the only passenger in First class.
Very private feel, whole cabin to myself. :)
This is a late flight departing at 11.30pm or so and there was a small snack after take off and breakfast before landing.
Pandan leaf chicken was quite tasty.
Spent the next few hours watching some movie and documentary.
Breakfast was the Shrimp porridge which was actually quite plain and nothing spectacular.
Should have had the "Pain omelette", that would have given me a jolt! :)
Love having a window seat, watching the sunrise and the Korean islands below us.
Since we landed at 7am and my next flight to SEA is not until 6pm, I opted to stay at the Transit hotel this time.
It was easy finding and checking in to the Transit hotel.
I did not book in advance but got a room anyway for a 6-hour block of time
Cost was $65.
The room is small, clean and basic with a wall mounted tv that had a ton of channels.
Took a shower and went to bed.
lol, someone had put a cover over the smoke detector alarm and obviously was smoking in the room which was not allowed.
Soccer balls at the entrance to the Korean Air First class lounge.
Not sure why soccer balls from the various World Cups were there.
Interesting to see though.
Had some tasty food before I headed off to the Korean cultural center to make a bracelet?
The Korean cultural center always have activities to make a small cultural item to bring home as a souvenir. Very nice idea!
On boarding, the gate agent was busy checking in Economy pax in the Priority line to notice me.
However, another agent saw my red boarding pass and got me checked in.
Hmm, was told that Kosmo Suites plane had been switched out to another plane.
Fortunately, it was to a Kosmo Sleeper plane and not the old old style seats.
Again, I was the only pax in First, other than a pilot taking their crew rest.
2A for me again.
Not sure why I always pick 2A...
The Kosmo sleeper seats have a smaller screen and the monitors actually look like toys. :)
Kind of cute in a way.
The tv screens look like those Playmobile toys tacked onto the seat itself. lol
Oops, did not remember to take photo of the menu this time.
Service was impeccable as usual with the KE FAs.
Had a Devi amenity kit with a set of high quality blueish-green Gianfranco Ferre pajamas.
The pajamas color looks similar to the KE uniform color.
Okie, yummy food time. :)
Mushroom, Scallop and roasted tomato appetizer
The green bread is a traditional Korean bread and suggested by the FA.
It was actually very tasty. Soft and chewy.
Going to have that next time!
Caviar service but I decided that I am not really a fan of caviar, having had it twice now.
After dinner, slept for a few hours, watched more movies and it was time for breakfast again.
We got in to Seattle at around noon.
Had a French toast with Apple whatever but it lacked flavor.
No "pain omelette" was available this time. :)
View of the Olympics on the left side which was spectacular, being a clear day.
I should have taken seat 2J.
Victoria city and Vancouver island are visible
Thank you for another really nice flight, KE!
Hope to see you again soon. :)
