Traveljunkieindonesia.com – I fly all the time. Like, all the time. The other day. Aaah… my flight Airasia QZ8321 delay for one hour at Don Muang airport, Bangkok.
I had some great tips how to kill time at airport. Always bring a Sony Xperia Z1 to take some photos and/or listen music with you, something packaged. You never know when there’s going to be a delay at the airport. See below for memories from Don Muang Airport.
Here’s what we saw and listened:

Traveljunkieindonesia.com – Hi travel junkies, sharks in the seas. Not in the soup!
The other day, I traveled in Siam area, Bangkok. And, this post is campaigning to achieve a worldwide ban on shark finning. Sharks are harvested worldwide, sometimes for their meat, but more often for the lucrative fin trade centred in Asia.
Many shark species are overfished, pushing them to the brink of extinction. Whether you are an individual consumer, company or restaurant owner, you can help save the sharks by stopping consumption or sale of shark fin.

Traveljunkieindonesia.com – Hello travel junkies, VIP member come this way…
I had to say “YES YES YES!” when Holiday Inn Express Bangkok Siam invited me to visit the Loy Krathong Festival (Thaland’s Festival of Light) on the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok – Thailand.
I know I’ve been to Thailand a number of times but I’ve always wanted to go the Thailand-speaking side to brush up on my beginner Thai skills.
Never did I imagine that we would ‘run our hands’ through the dark river at night.
a great place to refresh and relax.
Traveljunkieindonesia.com – I had always wanted to visit the Loy Krathong Festival on the Chao Phraya River Thailand, so when I was invited to Bangkok to ‘perform’ at an event, I jumped at the very generous invitation.
