We had a short stop in Taiwan but it was fun, we got to grab a bubble tea at Chun Shui Tang, the original creator of the pearl tea. We also got to visit the original Din Tai Fung for their famous Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings). We take you along on our Hop On Hop Off bus tour around the city at night. We got to briefly see the Taipei 101 Building all lit up. We finish off our time in Taipei with a visit to see the Fubon Guardians, Chinese Professional Baseball League team play at home.

    You don't have to book the VIP service for immigration clearance in BKK airport if you are travelling in business class. They have a dedicated priority lane for business class travellers. I went to BKK last month in Oct 2024 flying on business class with Singapore Airlines and I cleared immigration through the priority lane. While the normal lanes are busy with long lines of people, the priority lane was almost empty. I cleared immigration in less than 30 seconds.

    Taipei Taoyuan airport is dated and smaller compared to their neighbors such as Incheon, Hong Kong and Bangkok. But they have made up by opening glitzy duty free shops all over not to mention many restaurants for all tastes. A huge new terminal is in the works, but won't be ready until 2026
