So long Bangkok

We have to check out at 7am because our flight is 10:40am and the rush hour traffic can be very bad. To be safe, we rather to go there early rather than sorry. Surprisingly the traffic was quiet good and we manage to reach airport within 35 mins. Since we still have 2.5 hours to spend, so they went shopping again then bring me into the business class lounge. It was lucky to be with them otherwise I will have to wander around there until boarding time.

About 1:30pm, our plane landed at HK Airport for transit and we manage to get 30 mins to walk around the airport. Again, my boss went for shopping again even though we just have such short window but to him, stuffs here isn’t that expensive and he wants something authentic. After he had done his shopping, the gate is calling and again, we continue our journey to Seoul. Kinda excited to go there as this is my first trip but knowing I won’t have chance to walk around but to work like a cow, this really disappoint me. It’s ok, I believe someday I will get to visit here for vacation ;)

Surprise to see Recaro were used for their aircraft seat because this normally used by sport cars
About 8pm, I finally arrived at Incheon airport and the crowd seems very less. Similar to KLIA, I have to take a train back to the central airport. Luckily I’m travelling with 2 managers hence we took at limo with fixed price KW75,000 to our hotel, Hyatt Park Hotel right within the CBD area.

It’s considered expensive because it’s almost 1 hour drive from airport, much further than KLIA to KL. Due to minor traffic jam, managed to reach hotel around 10pm. While checking in, it seems all my credit cards giving me problem and I guess it must be my limit must be due as I have been traveling to Sydney, Bangkok and now Seoul without making any payment to my card. Luckily I can still split the payment into 2 cards and I should have call Maybank to extend my limit temporarily but it’s too late. Another thing is how come this hotel charged the full payment as initial deposit?

After the payment was made, the female front desk captain seems so friendly and escorts me to the room personally and explains all the facilities to me, just like that I had in Bangkok. Wow, such hospitality and I wonder if they don’t afraid some nasty customers might take their advantage when alone in the room. Not only the service was similar but even the appliances in the room were also the same.

No matter how, glad I’m in the room now and better settle down then sleep as tomorrow will be another tough day.
