This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

    The D gates are also for "non Shengen" flights, although mostly the ones from the EU area (narrow body planes) only very rarely you are requested to depart from a D-Gate when you are flying a wide body plane (happend one time in 26 years and that was in COVID when the E gates were closed). So basicall you never really were in Switzerland - you can divert directly from D to E via an underground passage.

    First of all, Thank you kevin for making honest videos. I'm going to Bangkok & phuket for my birthday in one week, and I choose to live in Capella, Kimpton Maa Lai, and Naka Island phuket. I did not choose them "all according to your video", but you sure did convinced me on kimpton maa lai. I work for a virtuoso travel agency, and I still have to watch your video to learn different hotels and resorts, because to be honest, I didn't been to as many places as you did. Keep it up!

    For someone who is allegedly a world traveler and doesn't know that dress codes apply in almost every resort in Mexico doesn't fill me with much confidence in the rest of your review....seems like you were biased from the experience you had being rejected from the restaurant. We have stayed in the Barcelo Caribe which is beside this one but before this new adult one was built and had no issues. Maybe next time do a bit of research so you won't be so surprised by what goes on. Instead of making reviews maybe watch a few next time.... ;-)

I was travelling a lot with TG back in the mid to late 2000's to Europe every few months. They were always fairly solid. They swapped over to these 200ER's on the MEL-BKK route around 2007 which was a real let down after the A346. That aircraft (HS-TJT) was my most flown TG aircraft and I remember when it had that new car smell! Geez I wish TG had stuck with the livery that had the metallic purple - looked so much better!

    Don Mueang is often referred as a low cost carrier airport, in a kinda negative way. The thing is that, providing you only have one flight with no further connections and that you therefore just need to arrive to Bangkok, or that you just have one flight out and just need to leave Bangkok to reach your destination without any connections, and that you are not flying business or first classes, DMK with Air Asia can be a much more convenient hub compared to BKK. Immigration processes are generally much faster, as can be connecting with certain parts of the city. The airport is relatively basic, but offers some nice sitting areas with great views over the runways, platform and the golf course located between the two runways, and there is a decent choice of food. Air Asia, on the other hand, can match economy class of any other regional airlines, with the advantage of being able to select your preferred meal. To put it clear and with real examples: flying from/to Luangprabang to Bangkok costs me much more (for there three people we are in our family) with a much slower and with worse food planes when doing it to BKK, compared to DMK.

    • @tfft

    Is worth pointing out that the pool is useless. There's always a lot of wind coming in from the ocean and the pool is entirely shaded. Even in the middle of Summer it's way too cold to pleasantly swim in.
