Good morning, my little winglets! Welcome to another SOPLANE Trip Report. Today, we are turbopropping it from Siem Reap in Cambodia (home to Angkor Wat!) to Bangkok on an ATR72. Once again, Bangkok Airways shows off why they are Asia's Boutique Airline! Complimentary meal and lounge access for a 1 hour flight - all in Economy Class! Happy flying and thanks for stopping by!

[@oliverhargrave715]

Never heard of Bangkok airways. They seem like a cute little regional airline. Great vid btw👍

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Hehe....they have been around for a loooong time! They are an amazing airline and always win awards - I think they were voted best regional airline last year. As always, thanks for watching and you support!

Fun report my friend. I enjoyed the electro style music at the start, but then we all know that i'm into Dance Music. I do love Bangkok airways, I hope they stick around as its really enjoyable to fly with them on short routes. The meal, although small, looked excellent and really adds to the value of what they offer. Loved this one. Though You won't catch me on a prop. :)

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Cheers, dude! You can experience the props through my videos hahaha. I am slowly running out of music on Epidemic Sound....I might have to start re-using the same songs. The meal was great for such a short flight. I also loved how they presented the sticky rice in the banana leaf....rather than just having a blob of rice on the plate. I think it was a cold meal because they don't have ovens on the ATR. On the outbound flight to Phnom Penh we had a hot meal. I still reminisce though about the days where Bangkok Airways was purely used by Western tourists and inflight meals consited of hamburgers and spagbol. Good times.

[@Whenitraveltheworld]

@@SOPLANETUBE Yes I will continue to enjoy props from your videos only :) Yes I was one of those western tourist's back in the day lol, and when I did 6 months in Asia back in 2014, things had changed a lot and I no longer had to take 10 hour bus rides between cities and could fly for super back, compared to my first time. I know that Sanspotter has a pretty good music system he uses and he says its cheap, though I can't remember what it is.

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Oh his videos are ace.....and he has an awesome taste in trainers LOL. Might check in with him to see what he uses for music....good idea! Yeah a lot has changed...back in the days there were 3 flights a week to where my parents have their house up North, now there are 5 or 6 flights a day!

Very Nice video and Great Plane Spotting! Thank you Nik ☺

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Hehe....nice weather makes such a difference! Shame it always rains here in Glasgow....

Getting a delicious meal on a one hour flight? 🙄 This flight looked truly enjoyable and the fact that it was operated by an ATR makes it fantastic to watch as well

[@SOPLANETUBE]

We would get along well! Haha. Props are so much fun. And yes, the food was delicious and the crew were tip top in running a full meal drinks and tea/ coffee service on this short flight. Have you been in Bangkok Air?

[@FlyAround]

@@SOPLANETUBE No, tbh I haven't really experienced any Asian carriers because I'm mostly traveling between Europe and the US. 😅 Would love to do so tho

[@SOPLANETUBE]

oh you should! (before they start cutting inflight service as well...lol )

[@scotb621]

I wish most European airlines done that online check in and drop your bag at business class check in 😭. Good video Nik!

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Good morning! Hahahaha.....I always find it funny that people queue for check in with Bangkok Airways. To be fair the signage is always quite bad . Can't complain though as it means that I always manage to cut the queue. LOL

[@WINGSbyJeremy]

Great Trip Report!!

[@philkitchen5462]

Haven’t even finished watching but had to say bravo on the apron action clips, great work!

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Haha....I hope you have finished watching it by now! Yeah, when the weather is good and the sun is out, it really makes for nice shots.....not something I am used to here in Scotland LOL

[@martinbaillie3151]

Another tip top video. I particularly liked the music. They really do take the absolute piss in Europe...

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Alright, pal! Haha. It's nice that some people like the music...I usually just get stick for it. LOL. Ach, Asia is slowly following suit with cutting services but for the time being it is great to see Bangkok Airways offering a premium service, not just up front but also doon the back!

[@madeira69]

Very well edited!!👍👍

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Thanks for watching Joe and your kind comment! Much, much appreciated 😄

[@waynekwong4478]

Great video! Beautifully edited, especially the planespotting part with the planes appearing in between the foliage! Simply stunning! Bangkok Airways is so good. Miss flying them. The food looked very decent for this short flight. Imagine, watching this video 3 and a bit times is the length of the flight, yet they managed a full service. A bit disappointed with your Birks. Thought you would have chosen one of their funkier patterned ones 😉🤣🤣

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Wait, there are funky patterened Birkies???? hahahaha....It was such a lovely flight and the weather really made the shots of the planes on the apron pop. The food was great - and they could have just put a blob of rice on a plate but no, they wrapped it in banana leaf to make it look more appealing. Such a nice touch!

[@voja2000]

Bangkok airways never dissapoints! Very good regional airline! :-)

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Yeah, they are a great wee airline and have come a long way! I remember the days they flew Shorts 360s.

[@ziauddinkhan5699]

Some of the clouds @8:17 + look like galaxies being born, photographed by Hubble telescope!

[@SOPLANETUBE]

That's what I love about flying in Asia - the huge clouds! You never see that over here....

[@s125ish]

Great stuff , props are fun. Love your style

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Props are the best? Which is your favourite? I am a sucker for the Dash 8.

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Just realised I never got back on this....Was sick with the flu....TWOTTER made me laugh. Love it!

[@Speedbird1FLY]

Great review and airline. I flew with them back in Dec and excellent experience 👍🙏

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Cheers, matey! They are a great wee airline, eh? A glimpse into what air travel used to be like...where did you fly them to in December?

[@Speedbird1FLY]

Yes very good service. I have the footage on my trip in my backlog of content CNX-BKK... nice and short. Still a great experience

[@SOPLANETUBE]

When are you going to edit that report? Last time I was in CNX was 25 years ago!!!!

[@Speedbird1FLY]

You haven't seen my backlog... I could start a new channel called... The (aviation) History Channel" lol. Too busy with work and.. well, more flying

[@user-wy6tg9ct5s]

[@jagadishkumar9386]

im bangkok which terminal that flight will stop???

[@jagadishkumar9386]

i need to catch india flight to Bangalore, that's why iam asking

[@NewcastleFlyer]

The only way they could improve is a more modern cabin!

[@SOPLANETUBE]

wpWell, they have retired this particular plane now....lol. But I'd rather have the food than new seats hahaha

[@maxjones2089]

I think I will stick with going to St Maarten TBH

Hahaha....ok, I give you that! It's still on my bucket list....

You got to blame my camel bladder! LOL I managed to fly from London to Vancouver without going to the loo once! Maybe I should go see a doctor....

Flight so short that there was no time for loo tour and ,out of 10, flush score. 😜🤣

[@SOPLANETUBE]

Exactly! Hahaha...plus I do have a camel bladder 😂
