Travel & Thailand Notes

I travelled to Thailand recently & here are some comments on my experiences for the benefit of fellow travellers.

In Singapore airport I had a bit of a wait & as usual wandered around the airport looking at the various changes, as Changi always seems to be remodelling.  Feeling in need of a snack as opposed to a big meal, I happened to chance upon a BT Wang stall & was impressed at the snacks available, service & great coffee.  Have a look at http://www.wangcafe.com/.

As I was only in Phuket for a few days, I booked into a budget hotel in Patong www.sabaideepatong.com/.  It was quite adequate for my needs as I don't require luxury, the service was friendly, the rooms clean & it was well positioned not far from Jung Ceylon.  


Another thing that I loved was that it was run by Turks, so there was good coffee, kebabs available at night & breakfast choices included Sucuk.  I normally only eat Thai, but on occasion a change is pleasant & this place fitted the bill.


The only disappointment was Jetstar!  The flight was delayed for 1.5 hours in Singapore & a further 5 hours in Brisbane with no notification although they had my email & phone no.  This is not the first time I've been stuffed about by this airline & I'll be avoiding it where possible in future.
