Our
flight was on Thai Airways departing KLIA at 0810 hrs. Just to be sure
nobody miss the flight a few of us especially the Chairman made calls as
early as 0400 hrs to nudge deep sleepers to get up and be at the
airport between 0500 – 0600.
Soon we were at KLIA, busy organising
ourselves for the onward flight to Bangkok.
Thanks to the Tour Operator
prior arrangements we were able to check in collectively and make our
way to the international departure. Some has already gone earlier to
catch up on a much needed breakfast. All were flying that morning except
Johnny Loo (from Hong Kong) and Fareed ABK and wife, Sharifah Murshidah
who would be joining us later. It was a 3 hour flight with us gaining
one hour to Thailand. And we arrived at about 1030 hr local time.
We
went to a local restaurant for early lunch, then proceed for a city
tour. The initial plan to an open market was aborted but we went to a
local shopping mall. From there we proceeded to our hotel – the RAMADA D
MA. Not much hassle there. Everybody got a room. Once checked-in and
about an hour of rest, we proceeded for a cruise on the Chao Praya known
as the Chaopraya Princess.
It’s a spacious ship, all done up for the
guests.The table and sitting arrangements were structured to ensure,
guests enjoy the cruise with ample vantage points to absorp the scenes
along the river. The food spread was enormous.
There was a continuos
supply of food ranging from Western, Japanese, Thais and Asian delicacy.
And there were music rendered by an entertaining lady singer. Our
group joined in the fun of dancing along.
It was a good 3 hours of fund
and laughter. And Food.
Soon we had to berth at the jetty for our
trip to the hotel and a well-deserved rest. For Day 1 – we were on the
move from about 0400 hours and lasted till 2359 hours. Whew a long day
indeed.Good Night Squads.
