My birthday trip this November will be to my favorite place, Bangkok, Thailand! Sawasdee Krab/Kha!!
「Chubu Centrair International AirportFrom Chubu Centrair International Airport, this will be my first time using an international LCC.แอร์เอเชีย:thai Air AsiaAt Don Mueang Airport (Don-Mueng International Airport (DMK)Flight to ''!
*LCCs are low-cost carriers that have lowered their regular fares through efficient management, such as eliminating or charging for free services and simplifying in-flight amenities.
With low-cost carriers (LCCs), extra charges for baggage exceeding the size limit and in-flight meals and drinks are all paid services. However, there is high demand for low fares, and people all over the world use them. I think this service has made overseas travel feel more accessible to many tourists!
First, let's have a light breakfast at Chubu Centrair Airport, which will be our last Japanese meal!
On our way to the boarding gate, we were able to meet Mr. and Mrs. Hisanori Kobayashi, who are longtime friends of my husband!
I'm so grateful for this unexpected and wonderful coincidence of being able to reunite with an old acquaintance at such a large airport!
The flight departed almost exactly on schedule, and the cabin was full and bustling with activity.
Since LCCs don't offer movies (monitors) which are a common form of entertainment during flights, it's a good idea to bring something to keep yourself entertained (like a book) during times other than meal times!
The price of in-flight meals, which are a paid service, varies depending on the item!
I ordered the "Pad Thai with Egg Wrap" for 220 THB (approximately 790 yen), and the combo price including a drink was 270 THB (approximately 970 yen), so I chose the combo with green tea!
A focaccia sandwich costs 150 THB, and a drip coffee (Asian Blend Drip Coffee) costs 80 THB (approximately 290 yen).
I didn't have high expectations for the in-flight meals, but both were far more delicious than I imagined!
Blessed with fine weather, it was a perfect day for a flight, and we arrived at Don Mueang Airport, located about 20km north of central Bangkok, Thailand, in approximately 6 hours!
The time difference between Thailand and Japan is minus 2 hours!
In Japan, November marks the beginning of winter, with average temperatures around 20°C and cooler weather. However, Bangkok enjoys a warm climate all year round, with average temperatures around 30°C!
Furthermore, November to February is the dry season, and the lack of sudden downpours makes it a very pleasant time to visit, leading to a significant increase in tourists!
It was past 3 PM when we arrived in Bangkok, and the temperature was a warm 33°C – perfect for my husband and me, as we're both sensitive to the cold! I highly recommend Bangkok in winter!
For the taxi charter from the airport to the hotel, I pre-booked a ride with "Miyako Siam Car Rent," a very convenient service I also used on my previous trip to Bangkok!
Miyako Rent-a-Car has a direct contact number for Japanese speakers, so even those who are not comfortable with Thai or English will have no problems!
Furthermore, the flat rate includes parking fees, highway tolls, gasoline, and driver fees, making it easy to understand. Best of all, because it's a company run by Japanese management, the meticulous attention to detail in its management system provides the greatest peace of mind!
At the designated spot, Gate 2, in the arrival lobby of Terminal 1 for international flights, we were greeted by Monttree Sunantarat (47 years old), a veteran driver with 7 years of experience at Miyako Rent-a-Car, holding up a placard! Sawasdee Krab/Kha!!
With Miyako Rent-a-Car, you don't need to walk to the general parking lot inside the airport; they'll meet you right at the exit, allowing for a smooth and fatigue-free boarding experience without having to carry heavy luggage!
Once you've loaded your luggage into the car, we'll head out into the city!
Many taxi drivers in Thailand don't speak English, which can lead to problems. However, booking a dedicated driver in advance will ensure a comfortable and stress-free ride!
Miyako Rent-a-Car uses Japanese cars, which are clean, safe, and comfortable!
Our driver, Montree, was able to converse in English, so we were able to communicate along the way, making for a pleasant 50-minute drive to the hotel!
