Introduction
This trip report is for flight undertaken in 2012. Was visiting Thailand with friends.
There were various exotic flight options to fly between Phuket and Bangkok like Orient Thai, unfortunately Orient Thai accepted only Thai based cards. Thai Airways was expensive, Had flown Air Asia on Singapore- Phuket route. Decided to book with Bangkok Airways as it was providing full service and my card was accepted while booking the tickets.
After spending few days in Phuket, it was time to fly to Bangkok. Arriving at the airport. Took a shared taxi to arrive at the airport.
