Travel Notes from Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok, Thailand
It’s only about 10 minutes to get to my airport hotel. I paid P162 Baht via Grab and arrived and checked in at Moji Hotel in a breeze. My stay doesn’t come with a breakfast. Good thing, I bought a Ham Sandwich & Banana for breakfast. I am such a light breakfast eater. That’s why it’s impractical for me to avail of a buffet breakfast in any hotel.
I booked my accommodation via Agoda. Now that I think about it, the room isn’t at par with what I paid for. There are visible signs of use, scratches on the floor, paint chipping, and bed sheets that looked like they’ve been used overtime. I don’t know if it’s the location, but there were mosquitoes in the room. Would I stay again at Moji? Probably not. After long years of travel, I’ve become more choosy with where I stay. Gone are the days of me staying in hostels and dodgy guesthouses. And room size has now become a top priority. My last draw was in Hanoi. Will share this story in another post.
I woke up at around 7 a.m., and prepared myself my breakfast. I am not worried about leaving late because it only takes 10 minutes to get to Terminal 1, and I availed of an AirAsia Fast Pass. It enables me to have a separate check-in counter, ideally a priority over the immigration, etc. I just hope Cebu Pacific will have something like this in the future. I’ll purchase this again next time I fly AirAsia. And looking at the signboard - Vientiane, Luang Prabang, and Siem Reap caught my eye. I’ve always wanted to fly there bound for Kashmir. Let’s see. I think I am ready to come back to India for the third time.
I am writing this blog on board my flight. In less than an hour, hopefully, the view of the Himalayas will appear on my window seat. I specifically purchased a seat 3F so I have a view of the mountains, if it’s not too cloudy. In the meantime, I am finishing the movie Solo Con Tu Parejas directed by Alfonso Cuarón, back in the day. Yesterday, I watched Yolo, a Chinese film, and it was great. I can’t believe the lead actress didn’t use any prosthetics. It took 3 years to film because the lead actress started as overweight, and after a diet and intense workout regimen which included boxing, she lost 50 kilos. Wow! So inspiring!
I’ll be more focused with my Muay Thai training once I get back to Manila. My main goal has never been to lose weight but to exercise my heart. It’s a bonus if I become thinner, though.
