This is a brilliant vlog Paul! It's certainly a journey that requires commitment and dedicated planning. I loved this in depth, insightful chronicling and filming of every part of your travel. Excuse me for mentioning the music, it was New Order esque with the Peter Hook sounding bass line most apt for Manchester! The on flight ✈️ provision looked excellent and the views fricking awesome. And so our weary traveller taking us WKW and back again you have shown us a valuable example of travel to Thailand at a very reasonable cost. Thank you 😊x

You said that when you checked in you would have to pay £35 for each of the two flights for a window seat??? My experience is that you only have to pay if you book your seats well in advance. At check in there's no charge

Charging for a window seat at check in, airlines getting tighter and tighter even though base prices are still high.

I had a return flight last month with one stop with Oman Air. No more than 2 hours wait in Oman. £525 from Heathrow.

It also encapsulated the happiness and excitement of going on your holidays, a feeling that can't be beaten 😊

Thanks for the video Paul. Have a friend who is planning to relocate to Malaysia and has visited Bangkok numerous times, so is somewhere I have always fancied. This will help me gain a better understanding of what is involved.

I have no idea why they tried to rip you for £35 at check in All the seats become "free" once online check in opens......Out of order from Etihad to say the least

Superb

That was a great travel vlog didn't think the price was to bad Paul but to long a journey thanks for sharing 👍 ❤❤

We flew on flight EY016 last month from Manchester (going to Sri Lanka) but despite paying for pre-allocated seats didn`t get any of them because Etihad made multiple changes to our flights and aircraft, including last minute cancellations or changes, between booking and boarding the plane. The IFE was mediocre and food okay. Next time we`re planning to fly with Emirates or Qatar.

There's nothing quite joining the main road out of the airport and remembering certain landmarks that tell you that you're heading back to Pattaya. It's totally enthralling and I don't get the same buzz from traveling to any other destination. £25.83p is the cab fare.(Just to split atoms🤣) I'm saving up to be a miser, so I use the bus or occasionally the train. It adds an extra hour but pays for the 1st night accommodation, but I've kinda quit staying in budget places and I'm prepared to spend B1000 a night including a nice pool. I usually go for between a month or 6 weeks and plan for two trips a year including The Philippines for 8-10 days to see a good pal there. Have a safe trip and I'm looking forward to seeing your next video, as there's nothing quite like a few weeks in Pattaya, Phuket or Chiang Mai.

You looked a bit tired at the end Paul😴 Did you not get any sleep on the plane?

Great Vlog. I love the take off landing parts. Food you know me and rice......No! No! NO! Love the vlog thankyou Paul great ❤work ❤

Halfway around the globe 🌍 although not direct although roughly you got as far as the middle of Asia on one flight from Manchester Airport.I didn't know that Manchester went that far east and would have said Turkey being the limit if I had been asked to guess.

Hi Paul, Thought the price was very reasonable, very long journey though. Enjoy your sleep. Thanks Paul.

Would have loved to have known what your review of the airline was eg: Comfort, Service, food etc.

Do you have more info on the flight booking ect

Search with Skyscanner then check feedback for cheapest travel agent booked and once confirmed phone Emirates for confirmation they confirmed and sent booking details to me

@@whoknowswhereEtihad Business Class is well worth the expense, depending on aircraft type. B787/A350 definitely worth it, the B777 not so much. It’s been a while since I’ve flown Etihad Economy, looks decent. Worth considering for a shorter flight.
