Second, try uploading due to UA-cam's stupid copyright rules.
Once again I am going back to Thailand with Thai Airways.
But this time it's on a one-way ticket.

Very enjoyable video and shall look forward to more of your adventures cheers Ian
Glad you enjoyed it
Great vlog Ian. We're intrigued as to what your plans are. Good luck 👍 🏴🙏🇹🇭
Keep it locked and see what happens 😉
Hi,Ian.
Good to see you back again buddy.I always prefer TG911 as, you say it gets you into BKK around 6-6.30 am.For me I go to Phuket on a connecting flight so, about an hour and, a half at BKK untill I depart.Sounds very interesting,very informative almost felt as if I was there.Thanks Ian,have a good stay and,I will catch you on the next.Sawadee Krap.😊🙏
Yes TG911 is good for connecting flights.
Also good to just get into Bangkok early and if you can get an early check in then good to get a nice shower and rest before heading out for evening drinks.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing, shared.
Thank you too!
That's a fast edit.... enjoy the warm weather
It sure is.
Nice and warm here.
Always enjoy an Ian Black Travel day vlog - enjoy your trip hope you have a great time out there
Thanks
I always prefer the morning flight and gives u a full day in Thailand when u arrive. The good thing about Thai airways they have 3-3-3 configuration on there 777 unlike a lot of other airlines eg emirates
Yes 3-3-3 is better
gosh haven't seen you for many a new moon mr i black nice to see you with your next trip to be revealed as and when stay with it all will become clear stay tuned
Yes am still around. One of the OG vloggers now lol.
Thanks for watching.
Halfway through this video and enjoying it, in last few days iv been trying to convince myself to book for Bangkok for next week and this video doing a good job in convincing me! Was thinking of booking a one way as I don't know if I will stay for 2 weeks or 28 days , but worried it might be an issue
Go for it. Book a one way ticket then
onwardticket.com/
and book your "onward" ticket.
Flew with Thai LHR-BKK and back in May. On the way there, empty row and able to lie down, on the way back middle seat was free but unable to lie down. Having flown non direct multiple times, I will never do so again. The extra circa 200 quid is so worth it for me. Flying back on the 00:55 flight is also perfect, able to sleep on the plane and then straight back on to UK time when back, even with 12 hour work day the next day I felt fine.
Yes good flight times with Thai
Bad shout that Ian, shipping out a couple of days before they increase the visa exempt to 60 days,.it all happened a bit fast,.any questions asked about the one way tkt at the Thai airways check in at LHR ? Love those half empty flights,. I’m going out on a one way tkt next trip, saves a bunch of agro on predicting return dates to uk, good idea if your staying long term, hopefully I’ll be out for 15 months minimum soon,. Enjoy.
60 days was only announced yesterday so too late for me.
onwardticket.com/ only cost me $16
As I used the website to check in and only needed bag drop I didn't see any staff that could have asked me. In Bangkok, I wasn't asked although I was expecting to be asked.
The flight was less than a quarter full so the cabin crew loved it. Best and fastest service I have ever had!
They usually ask to see a return OR onward ticket on check in, but sometimes they don't. It all depends on the check in staff I think, but good to have, to save hassle and delays at check in.
Hi Ian, may I ask if the plane is so empty, is it acceptable to lay down across a row of seats to try and get some decent sleep?
On this flight everybody did.
I had a row to myself and did just that.
Thanks, I'm thinking of Thai airways for that reason 👍
Yea Ian back . Do you prefer Thai Airways, abd do you prefer the morning flight or night flight .
The times Thai Air fly suit me better.
If another air line did the same times and was cheaper I would use them.
Surprised was so empty 😮
So was I.
Had enough of the British weather already have you Ian or is the upcoming election 😅 .I agree the early flight is much more preferable.
Yes.
All to much, weather, politics you name it.
Time to bail.
Good luck Ian... gone again! I did hear you left mtv.
Had enough, time to bail.
Flew Thai buisness class recently and thought it had gone down hill. At the united air lounge at Heathrow the showers were unavailable. The buisness class cabin looked tired, meals where inedible and in flight entertainment was shocking. It used to be so much better. Eva business class also poor these days
Business class I just cant justify spending that much money for a ticket.
And if the service i a poor as you say then no way am I going to book that.
I'm flying thai business Saturday to bkk can't wait to land in the land of smiles
Seems the airlines would rather the plane fly empty than offer lower fares. A lot of flight revues showing lots of empty seats lately. Yet Thailand just announced longer visas stays and easier entry for many nations. As inflation and a falling economy begins to bite. Tough times coming for all these countries that rely on tourism. And airlines bury their heads in the sand rather than fill seays.
The airlines book the slots and routes so have to fly or they lose both.
£500 for a one way ticket is too high though. I once paid £420 return!
Yes,it does seem a bit short sighted. Thai Airways are quite expensive now so I have started using Eva with no complaints.
Not necessarily. Sometimes this is done intentionally for cargo capacity rather than passenger service. In the context of Thailand, that country does export quite a few things to the UK and Europe, like tropical fruit and veg, fresh tuna/prawns etc. On the return leg the UK does export high end engineering equipment, medical devices etc which may be too high value to sit on a cargo ship for months. The airlines make a huge premium from air cargo, sometimes more than what people pay in the cabin above.
It’s the same reason why Turkish Airlines sends A330/A350/787 and even the 777-300ER to Heathrow daily. Unless it’s peak school holiday season, airlines like TK make a loss on their passenger revenue with every wide body they fly to Heathrow. But as far as I’m aware, the bottom of these widebodies are again rammed full of fresh fruit and veg, seafood and perishable goods for the UK supermarkets. Talk about why the cost of Mediterranean sea bass from Turkey at the local fishmonger is so high; it’s because the airlines take a huge premium for bringing it to you.
Fictitious bookings, lying about Heathrow Express. You naughty boy.
Just joking Ian. Looking forward to your future vids.
Just out of curiosity, how the fk do you book a fictitious flight ?? they usual ask to see the ticket.
If you don't ask you don't get, He who dares wins!
Goto Onward Ticket, onwardticket.com/
I wasn't asked either end if I had an onward ticket this time so I didn't actually need it but it only cost me $16.
@@IanKnobbyBlack Thanks. 👍
Coffee? Get a 🍺 down your neck
I wish, cant drink alcohol before a flight.
