I took a little trip

Brown Bag NOK to Bangkok
My neck, back, and hip where seriously inflamed. Old work injuries aggravated.
Driving or taking the bus to Bangkok wasn't a pleasant option.

Brown Bag NOK was the only option.
Not really fond of flying in an aging aircraft.
Don't know the age of the aircraft used locally.
The ATR 72-200 aircraft has  been around since the late 1990's.

The cost isn't exactly what I would call Budget, compared to similar flights from Udon.

Service:  The stewardess I observed seemed a bit preoccupied.  Wonder what was on her mind, very serious look. Didn't show that famous Thai smile till we landed.

She skipped our row  when the brown bags where handed out.  Had to ring the service bell and ask where ours were.




They're really Budget Air when it comes to in-flight food and drinks. The brown bag contains water and a pastry.

Saw a Monk drinking a hot tea.
Asked the stewardess if I could have a hot tea.
NOT AVAILABLE

I had some peanuts in my carry on to eat during my flight


Did some pre-flight cocktails I brought from home in a plastic container.  Sakonnakhon Airport security was kind enough to let me keep my open container until boarding time.
They did watch me like a HAWK with a THAI SMILE, till I disposed of the container.

Yes I like .o5 blood-alcohol when I fly.  It calms me down and relaxes me without becoming totally wasted
