Comment on Thai Airways First class–tried & tested by Johnny Tolentino

Johnny Tolentino — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 08:40:34 +0000

Hello, Gard.

Sharing my experiences too. My flight was delayed because of an issue with an airplane of another airline that skid off the runway. The whole airport had to shut down. It was good that Thai Airways was able to provide us with housing for the next days. Also, having a lounge to wait in kept me sane.

Comment on The trip report from Dubai is finally ready by Van

I would just like to react on Amna’s post above. She said “they have the right to leave if they don’t like the job”, this is totally false. Workers’ passports are confiscated by their employer upon arrival and are under contract and the slave-like so called sponsorship, which allows the employers to exploit their employees. If you look at Dubai, all you could see is opulence but if you dig deep and peel its covers, you will find its true identity. If you go to the outskirts of the city far from the maddening crowds and tourists, you will find the oppressed laborers that have helped built the city but are being kept anonymous.

I have been to Dubai and sad to say I didn’t like it. I found it pretentious and no genuine culture. Beauty of a city/country is not about tall skyscrapers or massive shopping malls but in my opinion, it is in the culture, the over all vibe and the people.

Compare Dubai to Hong Kong, Bangkok, Berlin, New York and Paris and you will know what

heheh… I can totally relate with the situation. I am very anxious with rules specially in foreign places. But the streets are good. I love eating street foods. There are a lot in Malaysia and Hongkong. Dubai also has their own version. My friends are talking about this soon to open food house, Filful Beirut, a street food resto in Dubai. Hmmmm.. at least eating street foods has lesser rules. hahahhaha.. crossing my finger on that.

Gard, your images and your articles tell me that you are truly impressed by the superior class of services offered by the Thai Airways. The images speak up the true quality of the services offered onboard. It will be a great choice for businessmen.

Gard, I have always been impressed by your unique travel blog. You convey such a lot of information through your blogs and images. Each of your photographs convey ample information. I am especially impressed by the fact that you do not miss out even trivial details like food and drinks.

Comment on Very disappointed by Lufthansa long-haul business class by Mike Smith

Just had a Lufthansa flight cancelled and spent 1/2 hour attempting to speak with a telephone representative. Her English was terrible and her knowledge of geography, countries, cities non-existant. Bad service.
