Mini Trip Report: Bangkok July 2018

I want to start this trip report by thanking everyone that is supporting both my posts here and also subscribing to my channel on YouTube. Any feedback you give me is appreciated and the more you give the better I hope to make it for you.

Other Mini Trip Reports
I travel to Bangkok fairly frequently as you can see from my prior mini trip reports there


This trip was actually from last year and was really done over a long weekend. I had seen a reasonable price on Cathay for business class return at around $600 so went for it to get my BA tier points.

This would entitle me to using the Cathay Business Class lounge at Changi. However, this meant that I had to make a choice: Do I use Cathay’s designated lounge, or would I use the Priority Pass, or would I use JetQuay [I talk about it detail in my report [url=http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/28338772-post1.html]Jetquay CIP Terminal Review – an unnecessary luxury?].

As I mentioned in earlier report, Cathay had originally used the DNATA lounge in Terminal 1 before it's move to T4. Now they have their own lounge there.
I can make a specific video about that lounge if you guys want. Let me know

An acquaintance was also travelling that day so I arranged to meet up with them at the Green Market in Terminal 2. This is a Priority Pass restaurant so I could go in there for free [see my comments about [url=https://globetrekka.wordpress.com/2016/12/11/which-reward-card-do-i-use/]Which Reward Card do I use?] using my Citi Prestige card.
The food here is pretty good so I just rocked up, met my acquaintance and then went back to T4 to enjoy the business class lounge experience provided by Cathay.

The hotel I stayed at:
  • The Westin Grande Sukhumvit, Bangkok
Restaurants visited
  • Another Hound Cafe
  • Angsila Bang Na
  • Food Court at Ma Boon Krong
  • Somboon Seafood
  • Sabai Jai
