My second video from Thailand. I am returning from Phuket through Bangkok to Moscow. The video shows not only flights, but also my adventures in the city of Bangkok. First flight with low-cost Asian airline AirAsia and second flight with Qatar Airways connecting in Doha.
The video starts from Mai Khao Beach, which is located near the runway of Phuket Airport. The beach can be easily reached by taxi or private transport. I watched several planes land and watched the life of the airport. Because Mai Khao Beach offers an excellent view of the airport platform.
The next day I took a taxi and went from Surin Beach to the airport. Checked in for an AirAsia flight from Phuket to Bangkok. I bought a ticket through a Russian online ticketing agency using my plastic card, but I already bought additional baggage and seat selection online on the airline’s website using a foreign card of my friend
I bought souvenirs on the flight. It was not possible to eat pre-ordered meals, because in Thailand there were still rules that you can’t eat on planes.
After arriving in Bangkok, I went to the shopping centers to the Uniqlo store, then I went to eat. I chose the Bangkok water bus, drove to the terminus and went to the Jay Fai restaurant, which has one Michelin star for street food. There was a big line, so I didn't wait. Decided to go next time. I walked around the area, took a tuk-tuk to the nearest metro station. In the video I made a small overview of the street food of Bangkok. Tom Yum, fried shrimp, mango and other fruits. It started raining at the end of the day.
The next morning I received a flight delay message from Qatar Airways. It was reported that the flight from Thailand was delayed by 3 hours. The previous connection was 90 minutes, and now it means that I will arrive in Doha with a delay of an hour and a half, when the plane to Moscow should have already left.
I looked to see if it was possible to fly somehow differently, but the prices for Emirates or Emirates plus Aeroflot were very expensive. One of the options was that in the evening there was a flight from Doha to Yerevan, and from there it was already possible to fly out in the evening either by Aeroflot (the flight was operated by Russia) or by UTair. I decided to go to the airport.
At the Bangkok airport they said that according to the system they have information: the plane to Moscow will be waiting for transit passengers. Then the transfer in Doha will be very short.
The flight to Doha was carried out on an Airbus A330-200, the departure was delayed, but we spent an average hour less on the flight. At Doha airport, passengers were met near the exit of the plane and escorted to the boarding gate for the flight to Moscow. Meals on board Qatar Airlines were standard, they poured all possible drinks without restrictions.
passengers were already sitting in the Dreamliner of the flight from Doha to Moscow. They quickly took off, flew over the cities: Baku, Saratov, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod.
All videos are shot personally on iPhone 12 or GoPro9. I edit it myself in Final Cut.
Thank you very much for watching me.
