I had a chatty taxi driver to the airport, and I got through the check-in process with plenty of time to spare. I went to the CX lounge and got a plate of Hainanese chicken rice

Followed by some noodles…

Then I got restless and walked around BKK. I’m always amazed by airport architecture these days…

Sunset views and a 777-200

I’ll admit, those A350 winglets *are* pretty neat

Blue hour

They had a Suntory Yamazaki whisky onboard!

Another meal! Fish and rice this time.

So the plane landed on-time and I had a couple hours before the redeye to Seattle. I went to The Wing on the way here, so I checked out The Pier on the way out. First up, was another quick meal in the dining area!

I got the burger, but looking back, I should’ve gotten the fish or steak…

Drink menu

I was really craving that burger though! and another mango juice.

Dessert!

The other side of the lounge had the bar, which is pretty swanky…!

That table…

Magazines to grab

I did take a quick shower

Another bathroom selfie. The Pier is definitely the opposite of The Wing!

I liked the mixed media… and the mountain.

The flight boarded slightly late, but the flight went smoothly. I had some time to check out their Door 2 galley area. Interesting how Airbus and Collins sets theirs up, as the M2 galley is mostly used for stowage and not for galley inserts.

The tiny Door 1 galley with a built in VCC. They have another centerline galley at the F5 position, where the majority of things are kept. I like that the middle cart compartment is dedicated to ice cream.

I had deferred my dinner to lunch. I woke up to some wonderful duck confit!

This was a really satisfying meal before landing. Looking back on the photos I took, it’s pretty clear… I take a lot of food photos on these business trips…
