are journey and flight via dubai to bangkok/ udon thani

Udon Thani and Thailand holiday route

yes its holiday time again and for the first time in 4 years where going Manchester via dubai airport Terminal 3 well we made it to dubai as i edit my blog here in dubai you have got to wonder at this place



Dubai as invested tons of cash in this new extension to a already impressive airport there seems to be much more of these carts flying around i just witnessed a tourist nearly getting run over the poor chap jumped a mile in the air when the driver peeped is horn




onwards to Suvarnabhumi Airport bangkok again the last flights have been via Abu Dhabi and Doha two very uninteresting airports with limited space and services

so this trip where flying with emirates airlines 1 of the best over the last few years but without a doubt the best airline in my experience as been Etihad airlines for reasons of aircraft cleanliness and on demand video/ moveis a much better system then emirates had back a couple of years and there never slow to refill your glass if you need a top up
here is travel review for Etihad i found sounds like what i would write for sure


whatever airline you yourself prefer you can still find a host of complaints around the internet about many airlines but lets see what we make of emirates this trip a good point about emirates they did give me a free flight to Bangkok return a few years back because are plain was unrepairable to fly that day

for those of you that read my article about getting a new Thai biometric passport in London please be advised that my sons did take 5 weeks and the wife's came last week so 6 weeks in total so if you do need one plan well in advance don't waste your time with the outdated website ring them after 2 pm daily so you can speak to the passport department and get the latest requirements
tel only after 2 pm 020-7225-5500 our 020-7589-2944

so we made it to Bangkok anyway as i finish of sat here in ban dung after afull day to come around from a hell of a trip to issan from Bangkok we normally enjoy are journey north but as we booked last minute we decided to drive up bad idea after spending 12 hours on the road we made it to udon thani i should know better but needs must and at least we got here coming out of the new airport in Bangkok the road was blocked buy police our army

red shirts armed to the teeth


not sure but gleaning information from are driver a friend of the family tensions where running high in Bangkok he said he had seen explosions and muzzle flash from guns been fired
