We were a little suprised to be in Bangkok at all - even if it was only the airport!
We thought that we had booked direct flights to Koh Samui, by passing Bangkok as we visited earlier in the year. On arrival at Siem Reap however we found that we were actually flying to Bangkok and changing planes to Koh Samui. The airport computers could not cope with this at Siem Reap though so they printed us two flight tickets to Bangkok and just hand wrote the onward details over the top of the second tickets!
This did not concern us too much but........the fact that our first flight landed 17 minutes before the next one was due to take off did!
We were first off the plane, ran through the airport and somehow got through immigration, collected visas and made it across the other side of the airport to our gate in 16 mins.......only to find that the lovely people at Siem Reap had written the wrong time on the tickets and we had a spare 45 mins!
The flight from Siem Reap to Bangkok was the shortest ever - 35 mins and somehow they still managed to serve the whole plane lunch followed by coffee! - Can't imagine any airline at home pulling that off!
