This photo is another from a past trip that has brought back a flood of memories of my experiences.  This location is much closer to home than some of the others I have posted.  This photo was taken from a boat, but this site is easily visible from land.

A pre-flight 60 minute massage, a private room with a TV, couch and desk with full meal service.  These are some of the features of departing from Bangkok in Thai Airways Royal First Class.

 

Along with the Lufthansa First Class Terminal in Frankfurt, the Thai Airways lounge and spa (review of a past visit) in Bangkok are the best airport ground services I have experienced.  I have enjoyed this  before, and anytime I am on an First Class ...

Born to be flight crew?  This new commercial from Virgin Atlantic follows an X-Men-like theme of how their crew are born with special talents that are utilized to be superhero flight crew.

I enjoy airline commercials, and occasionally post some of my favorites here.  This one has all the hallmarks of a Virgin family advert; flight crew that look like models, and a scene with slow motion walking.

Beatles cover band?  Huge suite upgrade with river views?  Excellent club lounge?  My stay at the Sheraton was very brief, but it was pretty memorable.

I've read mixed reviews of the Royal Orchid Sheraton, but I enjoyed my stay.  There are multiple Starwood properties to choose from in Bangkok, from Four Points and Aloft to St. Regis and W.  I was traveling alone on this trip, so I didn't need to spend extravagantly, and this ...
