#VeryLatepost 22nd February 2018
I wake up in the early morning. In around 04.00, I prepare my self to do subuh Prayer. But, I just realize that in Thailand has longer night than in Indonesia, so The time for praying Subuh is in the 05.38 a.m. While waiting for the subuh time, I wait in the desk that I slept before. I also try to wake my friends up for preparing the next flight.
I go to Mushola for brushing my teeth, Washing my face and take some preparations for the subuh time comes. After praying Subuh, we go to the shuttle bus to Suvarnabhumi airport. For your Information, This is one of the facilitation that the airport give. There are many shuttle bus to drop you at Suvarnabhumi airport or the opposite. It is free, you just show your ticket to the staffs in the shuttle bus ticket then you get a stamp as the proof you have passed in the shuttle bus ticket. For the time, you can choose the time as you want or just suit it with your ticket. My advice is you have to take the bus shuttle around 4 hours before the filghts.
After that, we are going to the Suvarnabhumi airport. The distance from DMK to Suvarnabhumi is so far and it takes almost 1 hour. Arriving in Suvarnabhumi, I am excited because the Airport is so big and amazing. But, I am a little bit confused to check in because there are so many a lot of counters to check in. I have to ask the staff twice. But, sadly, most of the staffs can not speak English fluently. Some of them can speak English fluently. So, I and Indah have to look around the place for check in which is we separate with Eric, for your information, Indah has online checked in but she has to go to the airplane ticket box for giving her luggage.
Then, I go to the body check and bag check places, I am caught bringing the honey more than 100ml, so sadly, I throw it in the trash box. Next, I go to the gate and waiting for the flight. The distance from the ticket check-in and the gate is so far because the Airport is so big hehehe
After waiting so long because we are too early to be there but I think it’s better than late, we enter the Thai Smile. The Plane is so beautiful and cute hihi. It takes around 2 hours to arrive in Chiang Rai. By the way, I get food light from Thai smiles, those are sandwich and a mineral water. I eat it little but I dislike the taste. It is so weird.
The view from the top on the way to Chiang Rai is different with the view to Bangkok. The View to Chiang Rai is dominated by mountains, hills, forest and etc. I like it! It is such as a lovely! While The view on the way to Bangkok is dominated by houses and factories It so different.
Alhamdulillah, Finally we arrive safely in Chiang Rai. We are welcomed by The Thailand song which is played of a live group by the group of the man. Unfortunately, I don’t capture the photos of it. The airport is not big as Dong Mueang International Airport. Then, I contact Miss Nok for dropping us. A few minutes Later, I meet with Miss Nok. This is my first time meeting with her. She is so welcome us and so kind. Miss Nok is accompanied by someone – I don’t know who-. She dropped us in Hotels which is still included in Area of CRRU.
Miss Nok gives a key, breakfast vouchers and room in 302 which is I and Mbak Indah is separated for the room. The room is so amazing yet comfortable. I directly take a bath because I did not take a bath yesterday hehehe. After Taking a bath, I directly pray Dzuhur and fall asleep – due to very exhausted-
Alhamdulillah, my roommate comes, she is Aulia from Tadulako University. Not only meet Aulia, but also meet the other delegations who are placed in the CRRU. For the night, we go outside for looking for food for our dinner. Because it is difficult to look for halal food. So, we buy rice – halal certified- in Seven Eleven and eat it with kering kentang -I brought from Indonesia-
