  • Bangkok Airways | Bangkok - Chiang Mai | Economy Class... You won't believe how much I PAID
    We say hello to Bangkok Airways (PG) in this video. They are touted as Asia's Boutique Airline, and I believe they remain to be the only one to do so. They are really a unique carrier amongst a sea of bloated legacy carriers and nifty low cost carriers. They have somehow carved a nice for themselves and have managed to survive all these years.
    PG has several unique selling points which we will explore as part of this video. They provided me so much, and you will not believe how much I paid for this flight. So come along with me on this experience to see what Asia's Boutique Airline is all about.

    Wow! I did not expect a domestic flight to have this kind of service. This puts a shame to all national carriers and major airlines serving so little yet getting huge income from loyal passengers! Good on ya for sharing this video. 😁

    Ok we LOVE Bangkok Airways!! Wonderful food and service. Chris flew them last year (when they weren’t officially allowed to serve meals on the plane) and when he disembarked, they gave every passenger a lunch bag. So cute. I think we’ve 100% become disenfranchised in Australia with what to expect from a domestic flight.

    • @ryansofly
      @ryansofly  ปีที่แล้ว

      Indeed... The Aussie domestic scene is just in a very dire state. All that's left is to rip out the JCL seats on QF and replace them with moveable half bulkheads, and we'll be Europe.

    Great Video Ryan.. Like you, I travel the world with just hand luggage. Not having to check in luggage saves time & I find 7 kilos enough to travel with, got it down to a fine art now. Thanks for the info on lounge access with Bangkok Airways, wasn’t aware of that. Not bad variety of food there for a lounge with access to all passengers. Yes watching what food & drink you were served I think we in Australia are being short changed. Great value flight, one I’ll definately have to look at. Safe travels Ryan, look forward to your next video..

    Wow! I recall taking BKK Airways from SIN to their legendary hub on Koh Samui island. Was bussed out across tarmac to their ATR-72 turbo prop, in a time when every flight had air bridges. Was a low & scenic flight along east coast of MY. When we landed, they used trams to bring us to the terminal which had traditional Thai architecture, like Bali's old airport.

    I really like Old Swampy airport BKK! Always a pleasure to visit there. I'll be back there in August.
    It only took me about 2 minutes to travel through immigration at BKK in April when I arrived. They definitely improved greatly.
    I paid about A$45 for my flight on Bangkok Airways from Bangkok to Chiang Mai last July. Bargain! Almost double to fly from Bangkok to Koh Samui as no competition but still cheap compared to Aussie domestic flights.

    6:40 - Love the lounges but both Domestic and Intl lounges for Bangkok Airways are far away from the gates they actually use. Almost in the opposite direction. So if you plan to use the lounges, make sure you have plenty of time to enjoy them.

    aus low cost airlines such as Jetstar and Tiger, even on paid meals, the choices are much to be desired.......
    Hot meal is a cultural thing, In most part of asia, hot meal is equal to cold cut and dry biscult in western culture. If you serve cold sandwiches in domestic or short international flights in asia, you will leave with no passengers.

      I have witnessed foreign couples flying airasia encoute from singapore to kl, an 1 hour flight (actual on air excluding ascending and descending abt 20mins) preordered nasi lemak. I felt sorry for them as they need to rush off the meal in god speed before the crew served and collected their meals. Haha.

      @@linustw ha yes I've done the air Asia nasi lemak between SIN KUL! I'm still eating as we descend. The crew mostly turn a blind eye to those still eating on final approach. Because there's just no way to finish your meal in that time.

    I received similar service on a short flight with Thai Airways from Suvarnabhumi to Khon Kaen (halfway between BKK and Chiang Mai). Fantastic flying domestic in TH. However I found them abit backwards with electronics, really pushy to completely off our phone and take out earbuds during take-offs and landing. It's also common to find 500/600 baht flights for my route, fantastic compared to a 6/7 hour drive.

    • @ryansofly
      @ryansofly  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh absolutely! Transportation within Thailand is very reasonably priced. I was hoping to get a nonstop flight between Chiang Mai and Phuket in business class, but it occurred to me TG no longer flies domestic flights. Shame!

      Oh no they were never cut price. In fact on international flights, they're always very expensive especially for flights into Koh Samui... Great little airline they are.

    Hi, an avid Sanskrit speaker here, the pronunciation is not soo-wa-na-poom
    It is svar-naa-bhu-mi

      @aikapats 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      As a Thai, we adopted Sanskrit but we adapted to our pronunciation.
      So, Su-wan-na-poom is correct for our standard Thai dialect.
      PS, Thai adopted both Bali and Sanskrit so that’s why we adapted some pronunciation to align the local Thai words

    • @ryansofly
      @ryansofly  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you're flying into Suvarnabhumi, just follow the signs for transferring flights once you step out of your SYD-BKK flight ... it's very easy. That's assuming the agents has checked your bags in all the way to Chiang Mai. If not, you have to clear immigration and collect your bags, then head upstairs to departures to check in again.
