"Kampung Guy" Going South errr North, errr Both North and South...

[Dent@SUB]

Once this beautiful aircraft has completed docking at the gate, all the "gnomes " swarmed in to take care of her...
Luggage being unloaded and loaded, fuel being refueled, catering being replenished, etc, etc, etc...











On the next gate, TG was being prepared for flying back to BKK...










The sign already stated "boarding soon" once all the inbound pax have already deboarded...



It's not took a long time since the plane has arrived until she was ready to be boarded... only about 30 minutes...

And finally.... boarding time....
Holding 1A BP, this "kampung guy" was the first to be onboard....

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome onboard Thai Air Asia FD3713... Please stow your cabin luggage at the overhead compartments or under the seats in front of you...

That's some pretty unique Photoshop work there.

Oops... I'm busted...

Thanks mate for dropping by...

[Dent@SUB]

While he was in the gangway, on the way to the aircraft, one family and an old couple walked very fast surpassed him...
Ahhh... now he's not the first one again... but became among the first...
(Haizzz.... Is that really matter?? This "kampung guy" is really a fussy guy... )
Once onboard, he was welcomed with a big smile from the FA... but no greeting or communication...
He just showed her his BP, and the FA checked it, and returned it with a big smile... that's it... just like that...

Here some shoot of the (almost) empty cabin....
(those grandpa and one other family have surpassed him to be the first one onboard, even though they were not sitting on the hot seats.... )







And then, one by one the other passengers were entering the aircraft...









Some FAs were helping the pax with their seats, and the other FA spoke on the PA to remind pax about their cabin luggage...

The notorious ala Grand Dame SQFlyergirl pose...
(Aiyoooo... I've put another debt to her with this pose... )




The safety card...

[Dent@SUB]

And the menu booklet... the "not for free" menu and merchandises ...



















OK... now the boarding process has been completed, and they're ready to push back...

[Dent@SUB]

Some views while taxiing to the runway...

[Dent@SUB]

Now they're ready on the runway...
Yak... on position.... ready for rolling....
Brrrmmmmm..... roaaaarrrrr....... flap deployed... released brakes... full throttles...
And then they began to roll... brrrmmmmm....... roaaaaarrrr.......
Full speed ahead...









Yaaaakkkkk...... lifted offffff......








Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the land of clouds.... Please enjoy your stay here...

[Dent@SUB]

After the seat belt sign was turned off, it's time for party?
(Party? What party? Whose party? Did you mean meal time??? )

Pax with pre-booked meal got their meal first.... wayyyy before the FAs began to do their business...

Here's this "kampung guy" pre-booked meal...
Fries Rice with Chicken Satay...






Hey... did you say Chicken satay? What satay? I see no satay here, only those small shrimps and fried "bilis" a.k.a. anchovies ...
Ahhhh.... they're buried deep down inside the fried rice...

[Dent@SUB]

Do you guys want to know how it's tasted?
One word... HEAVEN...
The satay was very tasty, succulent, smelt so good full of spices, the spices not just on the surface, but penetrated deep down inside the meat. Gave this satay a distinctive taste...
The deep fried "ikan bilis" so crunchy and tasty, a little bit salty, but they complement the fried rice's taste perfectly...
The semi dried shrimps add a little bit sea sweetness into the fried rice...
This meal was heaven...


Some shoot of the cabin...
The FAs were selling their stuff...




The front galley...




Time for toilet's report...

[Dent@SUB]

Another cabin's shoot...





My version of Air Asia's business class seat: 3 bulk head seats just for my self...





Now the aircraft began the descending process....
Look at the bottle.... it just like being squeezed down as the increased air pressure along with aircraft was descending into the lower altitude...




Now they're approaching BKK...





They're already on final now...
Gliding into the runway....

[Dent@SUB]

Yaaaakkkkk..... touched down.....
Ciiieeeettttttt...... full brake.... engines reversed.... full flap.... wind brakes deployed.....









Some nice views while they're taxiing to the parking stand...












They were parking at remote parking stand...
It was a chance for this "kampung guy" to take the aircraft picture from the ground...

[Dent@SUB]

Using his unused SQ's fast track card, he joined the fast track line at the immigration counter... no need to join the long line at the regular immigration line...

Soon he has already at the luggage claim area...







But still no sign of his luggage at the luggage belt....
Even the luggage belt has not moved yet...








He waited there for about 15 minutes before the belt began to move...
And his luggage came among the first batch... lucky him...



So... ladies and gentlemen... welcome to Suvarnabhumi International Airport of Bangkok... please enjoy your stay here...
