Thai Airways InternationalThe new gateway to Bangkok, ThailandSuvarnabhumi International Airport"
After a flight of approximately 6 hours, we arrived at:
early morning4:30Because of this, the surroundings still had the quietness of pre-dawn.
Even in tropical Thailand, the air can be cool in the mornings and evenings.

April 2007twist,Thai Airways InternationalVia Bangkok,
Phuket, Chiang Mai,
Immigration procedures have been simplified, making it very convenient as entry now only requires a passport check!

We arrived at Concourse D (the central passageway),
For transit to Chiang Mai, with the runway behind you, head towards Concourse B, the domestic terminal on the right.
Normally, when departing for Bangkok, you would proceed to the immigration area connected to Concourse D,
If you are transiting, please note that this is not the immigration area.


This isThai Airways InternationalThis is an easy-to-understand transfer guide map provided by [the organization/organization], so please use it as a reference.

As you proceed towards Concourse B, you'll find a wall covered with photographs symbolizing Thailand.
It makes you feel as if you are being warmly welcomed in the Kingdom of Thailand.
There's passport control (immigration for domestic connecting flights) ahead, so please continue straight ahead.

Passport control (Immigration for domestic connecting flights)

At this counterPassport and airline ticketI'll have them check it.

Transit passengers will be given this sticker, so please attach it somewhere easily visible.
This sticker indicates that the passenger is transferring from an international flight.
It seems the rule is to keep the sticker on until you pass through customs inspection at your destination.

After clearing security, proceed straight ahead to Concourse B.

The departure gate is not decided until about an hour before departure,
Upon arrival, I didn't know which gate I would be departing from, as it wasn't indicated on my ticket.
Flights to Chiang Mai may always depart from this gate, but please double-check each time.

Let's relax near the boarding gate until departure.
There are charging spots for your phone and other devices scattered throughout, and the restrooms are nearby, making it a comfortable gate lobby!

I have some time before my connecting flight, so I'll kill time by browsing the internet.
I rented overseas Wi-Fi.GLOBAL WiFiLet's turn on the router right away!
Overseas Wi-Fi is only for use in designated countries.
If you turn on the power and use it in any other wayCases in which exorbitant charges are imposed.Please be aware of this.
The same can be said if you use it in Japan, for example.
It's fine if the layover is in the same country, but if you have to transfer in a different country,
Since it may connect automatically if the power is on, please turn off the power in countries other than those where it is available.
In the case of an international airport, as you can see on the smartphone screen in the photo,Free WiFiThey are often seen flying around,
It is generally said that connecting to free Wi-Fi overseas may carry risks.
Not everything is dangerous, but basically, when you connect to the internet,
Information (logs) will remain on the connection line.
Furthermore, information can be retrieved from devices connected to the same network.
In other words, everything you do on your smartphone becomes completely transparent.
In the case of free Wi-Fi without a lock, an unspecified number of people connect simultaneously,
This means the risk will increase.
It's not that you absolutely must not connect, but
At the very least, you should avoid logging in or entering personal information while connected.
In that respect, the one we always use when traveling abroadGlobal WiFiSo,
Since they say they don't retain any personal information or logs, you can use it with peace of mind♪

As the flight time approaches, the plane to Chiang Mai is being prepared.

This timeThai Airways InternationalのTG102The boarding gate for the flight is,Gate B6is.
After your passport and boarding pass are checked, you can enter the gate.

You will be instructed to show your boarding pass to the flight attendant.
It will immediately tell you whether the designated seat is on the right or left, so just follow the instructions!

This domestic flight uses a relatively older aircraft.AIRBUS A330-300is.
The seating is a little cramped, but it's only about an hour-long flight, so you'll arrive in no time!

The airport appears to be crowded, causing a slight delay.

The flight to Chiang Mai is about an hour long, and drinks and light snacks will be served on board.

This is the in-flight meal on a domestic flight.
It's a lunchbox containing a sandwich, fruit juice, and a dessert that resembles yokan (sweet bean jelly), but to be honest, it's not very tasty.
This is the first time I've ever tasted something so delicious that it's not even suitable as a sandwich or dessert.
The fruit juice was quite sweet, but I was able to drink it (lol).
I shouldn't complain too much in economy class, but it would be nice if they could make some improvements!

JuneAlthough our trip took place during the rainy season, we were able to fully utilize our sunny-weather-bringing powers.
I pray that we will be blessed with good weather on this trip, and now,Chiang Maifart!
