It was then onto HS-ABD to Bangkok - a fitting plane for my last flight of the tour as it was the same plane that started the trip off eight days earlier flying to Kuala Lumpur !
The spotting wasn't over though as I now had an extra two days spotting at Bangkok.

Finally my ride back to Bangkok (and it was also the ride Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur when I started my tour)

Hi Nick

Great report on your far east trip

Off myself to Hong Kong later this month

Do you know the opening times for the Sky Deck @ Terminal 2 ?

[Nick Bartley]

I think was approx 11:00 although I'm sure it was earlier than that last time I visited so might alter times depending on time of year. It is open to the weather and I believe it closes when a thunderstorm is approaching

Cheers Nick

I'm from the Manchester Area

So I hope I don't take the weather with me!!!!
