I love traveling. And a part from Jogja, Bangkok also remains one of my favorite city in SEA. The Thais have a way of making their visitors feel at home with their ever welcoming smile and never ending praises! A gal gotta love all that :p

With 8 daily flights to Bangkok, the 20:35 flight is a personal favorite. Get off work at 6pm, head straight to LCCT just in time for check in and off I go to the land of smiles and wacky t-shirt. Perfect!

My favorite place to stay in Bangkok has always been Rambutri House at Rambutri Road. Which is just about 5 mins walk to the bustling Khaosan Road. Although a bit pricey from the usual RM30 room (Don't raise your eyebrow, I am a backpacker!) that I am willing to fork out for accommodation. But hey, it's a great hotel with private bathroom, air con, clean and nice smelling bed sheets, soft pillows and most important of all, it comes with Star Movie channel! :p

Chilling with the girls outside the guest house

The flight to Chiang Mai the next morning was alright, although the slight air turbulence did made my heart skipped a beat!

There is a certain vibe that you get from a foreign place, it's either love at first sight for hate at first sight. I don't know what to make out of Chiang Mai...

Lonely Planet said it's less manic like Bangkok and people are generally nicer. Although I can't say much about my guest house owner (Sarah the English lady) nor the waitress in Ratana's Kitchen, I did however befriended a lady by the name of Paa who sells sweet corn by the road side near Sarah's Guest House.

I promise to myself that I would be back!
Yes! That was the effect that Chiang Mai had on me. Being a family member of AirAsia, one of the advantages is to fly more often and visiting places that we never even dreamt of visiting earlier. So,I grabbed this opportunity and my first destination Chiang Mai, about 700km northwest of Bangkok, Thailand.

I arrived there at about 1130hrs on 1st Jan 2009. It was a great start to a new year. My Thai friends say that it is cold there in the Winter (Dec - Feb) , which made me decided to go in January, to personally experience the temperature. However, I guess that I was 'over excited' as it wasn't as cold as I expected and imagined. The weather and temperature was just nice to walk around in our short sleeve t-shirts , but not to the extend of needing a thick sweater and scarfs ;-)

My family and I flew from Chiang Mai, Thailand to Kuala Lumpur with AirAsia flight AK897 CNX-KUL last month. This flight used the amazing Airbus A320 aircraft registered 9M-AFW named "AT&T Willams". 2 hours and 50 minute in the air, the sky is so very nice so I could see Koh Samui, Hat Yai Airport and Pulau Pinang too!!

This is not the first time for me to go to Malaysia. I have been to Kuala Lumpur so many time before fly to the new destination. Yes !! every time I always fly with AirAsia to LCCT Kuala Lumpur. (read more...)

Some people like collecting stamps, some like to collect coins or stones but the whole objective of collecting stuff, I guess, is to amass a variety of items that is to become one’s pride and joy.

We collect stuff too, it’s a common sight on tables – well at least for the Web Team, they are. Table Souvenirs! Small items that we bring back to the office for one another after each to remind ourselves of our trips. Since AirAsia flies to 61 destinations… you can bet that there are plenty of items on our desk!

Check it out… ;-)

A regular sight on our desks.

I picked items off my colleagues table for this mini ‘photo shoot’! No guessing where the elephant is from, Bangkok of course. Think massage and shopping... (read more...)

Hello everyone! This is my first blog post here on the AirAsia Blog. Don't know much what to write on this blog so I decided to share my good feeling on my lastest flight with AirAsia. Recently I was flying on FD3233 from Chiang Mai-Bangkok flight. Since AirAsia is the only airline serving (selling) hot meals when travelling domestic in Thailand, I ordered this Asian Fried Rice with Chicken Satay and it was very delicious to me :) All I can say is Yummy!
