carlyai Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Does anybody really call it swampy? I do. Swampy or Banggers. If you've ever walked aroung Silom Rd with greyish water up to your knees, that would be a good reason to call it Swampy.Sent from my SM-J700F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riclag Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 How did your check in go at the airport. I had one family in my line ,that didn't understand that they needed to follow the instructions on the fingerprint machine and press hard while pressing the screen! The IO called for assistance ,apparently a specialist,they in-turn called for a translator! It was Quite timely !! Welcome back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danthai Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Guess some members feel they have to be unkind and make unkind comments to get there count up. I understand what its like to take a 18 or 20 hour flight before the hours of check ins and security checks. Why is it important to unnecessarily criticize the poster for using the word Swampy. My wish is that the moderators would just delete the hundreds of negative stuff posted on TV blogs and especially on Thai news articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good planning for connected flights is to spend as little time in airports as at all possible. PS not everyone is flying first/business and has access to "enjoyable" lounges. Seems you have never flown business class. A nice 2 hour layover is refreshing. A shower, fresh food and drink, couches to relax, massage chairs, etc. Gosh, I guess some of us have to do it. It is wonderful and the only way to fly. Not to mention the priority fast track at immigration. Try it sometime, sure beats rushing to your next connection in coach.

Not to mention if you say swamp-oom to any taxi driver they will understand.Origionally it was a swampy delta full of olive trees. It still is, minus the olive trees. That's Kruntep I mean. Suvarnabhumi came w a y after the name Swampy.You'de think that after all this time they would have realised water runs down hill. Hello Pattaya beach.

Our yammering drunken cows aren't as fat as yours. Combover? Our leader, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, now that's proper posh, posher than any US president, doesn't need a combover, he doesn't even posess a comb. Away with you American braggards!

You can rent space in the flying petri dish, but paying more for the same filth and germs is silly. And the there are guys like me, green with envy at the hiso business classers. I board early due to injury and make sure I sneeze slot in the area. Wiped off your chair with Clorox in the lounge did you?

Speaking of Brits, there was a Pommy next to me in full yob display who zipped right thru too. Friendly bloke,but I couldn't understand a word he was saying. Least the Aussies are decipherable. Hey by the way I saw a brit (Arsenal jersey and all) fall down the stairs at Nanaplaza last night. He didn't feel a thing, got up, and staggered away. Made me proud of our little retarded cousins!

SteveK Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I'm also one of your retarded cousins but I agree with your comment re: looking like a bum after a monster flight. How hard could it possibly be to turn one of the numerous bogs on the plane into a shower? A shower and shave and change of clothes mid-flight would make me change my mind entirely about long haul flights, even if I had to pay for the pleasure. Sitting in your own sweat for 12 or more hours is degrading. Ten times worse if you've boozed it up at the airport and have to experience the feelings of sobering up then getting a hangover blow by blow without the benefit of the unconsciousness in between.

Can't be hard to have a shower in them now. I always transfer at Dubai and both legs have lots of Indians on them. If you use the toilet after them, it's always soaking wet from floor to ceiling.

That water on the walls will no doubt contain a huge amount of faecal matter, as I imagine would their clothes, but that's something I suspect they are used to.
