JCK Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 This Wednesday, I have a 7.45am flight from BKK to UK via Singapore. I'm not exactly a morning person so am rather pi--ed off! What's the best way of getting to the airport at this godforesaken hour. I'm never out and about at this time so I have no idea. I will be travelling from Siam Square area...

JJsushi Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Stay out all night and don't go to sleep. Arrange to have a car take you to the airport in the morning. Sleep on the plane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Cant you get your Hotel reception to give you a wake-up call ? Given Bangkok's traffic, something around 3am should be appropriate :} The 'stay-out-all-night' option is looking better all the time ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJsushi Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 For a 7:30 flight I always get to the airport at 6:30 (I know you should be at the arport for an intl flight 2-hrs ahead). No need to sit around in a lounge for 2-3hrs. There is never any traffic that early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 jjsushi Have to agree with you there jjsushi but instead stay with a girl all night making your last night very memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJsushi Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 I always stay with a girl all night. Who else would fold my clothes and pack my suitcase for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Cab. Early. Traffic shouldn't be too bad yet, but figure on one hour to get there JUST to be on the safe side. Be sure to give the girl cab fare back from the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCK Posted May 8, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 ...for the advice, I think - lol. I'll try for a few hours kip. Don't think I'll go for the girl option due to my (car-less) girl friend. During the day, there's a multitude of taxis around where I'm staying. I know tonight I'll be having nightmares about a taxi-free street at 5.30am tomorrow. A tip - if you live/work here and want to visit Europe, book your seat well in advance or you too will be taking a crappy and not very cheap flight! :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 I had a 6:00 am flight last time I left BKK. Had intended to stay up all night....Went out and shot pool till about 2:00 with my girl and her 2 friends. Back to the hotel, a goodbye ****, and sure enough dozed off. Thank God the desk actually followed thru with the wakeup call for once, and there was no traffic as it was the Kings B-Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
