BANGKOK AIRWAYS ATR72 Economy Class 🇹🇭【4K Trip Report Phuket to Koh Samui】The Island Express!

[@davenorth2903]

The “anonymous” bit is so important. For example, I don’t believe a word from Sam Chui and completely ignore his reviews. Keep up the good work.

[@brettkear2933]

Sam Chui is a fraud!! Sadly, Trek Trendy appears to be heading in the same direction.

[@tfft]

Ironically he posted at the exact moment I saw your notification come haha. I think the work Sam does needs to be done, but I agree that his videos simply shouldn’t be called reviews. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@tanzil88]

​@@brettkear2933 josh cahill n dan aviation also, in my opinion.

[@tfft]

Trek Trendy ironically used to speak out against Sam in his videos pretty directly in the past as well. My views remain the same. All kinds of content about the industry is relevant and welcome (even sponsored pieces)… but, we need to be careful with the word “review” and save it for unsponsored, preferably anonymous, trips. Trust me, in the far future, I’d LOVE to be a guy walking into a brand new Rosewood before it’s open to the public- or try out a new business class product before it’s flying… BUT if I do every get the chance to do such things, those are NOT reviews and I’ll make the distinction clear.

[@terryanderson341]

I think Flying Asia and FlightTravels bring honest content too, these are the people that I always support and the same goes for Flip Flop Traveller!

[@KrabbyPatty19]

This is a really underrated channel. Keep up with the good work. I love your videos

[@tfft]

Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@paulkazzer]

BKK Airways owning the Koh Samui airport gives the exclusivity. A great airline. If you turn up early they’ll bump you on the next flight. Always a pleasure to fly.

[@tfft]

Certainly is. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@swayamkrishnan8273]

I just recently discovered this channel and I must say it is amazing!! Keep up the amazing work!

[@tfft]

Thanks very much for that and welcome to the channel!

[@raedmaklai3123]

Same with josh cahill.

[@dennisrettke]

Flew this exact route (and back) around a year ago. Loved it! Overall, Bangkok Airways is a neat little airline - always great service and no fuss.

[@tfft]

Thanks for sharing ✈️

[@leneeanderson4848]

Your content is so informative and I like your sense of humor! How this channel doesn't have more subs, I'll never know. Keep them coming!

Thanks very much 🙏🏻

I solved that puzzle. Quite easy actually... Mariott Momi Bay, Fiji

[@tfft]

Well, it gets easier in each video 😅

[@markprovan4332]

Love ya FFT.. highlight of my week.

[@tfft]

Thanks very much!

[@well-blazeredman6187]

Good review. Bonus points for not giving us more coverage of Q-suites. Good catering by the airline.

[@tfft]

Q-Suites only make up 3% of all of my trip reports right now 😅

[@stdoher]

Well done, great videos as always

[@tfft]

Thanks very much 🙏🏻

[@avishjha4030]

I'm pretty early! Always excited to see a new video from you!

I have flown Bangkok many times in last 12 months and very happy. At one stage during covid (remember that) they were giving a paper carry bag with water, cake and roll when disembarking the plane so unsure what that was about. The Coral lounge is very basic but still nice and almost private. Great service but the best is you are away from the general terminal with screaming kids, disrespectful travellers laying across four seat and bags taking another 2 and their rubbish on another while senior citizens have to stand. Still waiting for the Kimpton report before i book my September trip although my stay at Intercontinental and Holiday Inn were brilliant, Kimpton and Six Sense same IHG group so expect the same although prices go up and makes it beyond me. As for the people bagging Sam Chui his videos are industry insights and behind the scenes and are great, if things are not what he expects he calls it out. They are different theme to flip flop traveller and well worth watching. 🙏👍

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@SShiroST4R]

im flying on it rn

[@tfft]

PG ATRs have Wifi now? :)

[@brilliantbutblue]

Noticed the date error on the screen and you corrected it in the description box 👍 That meal/snack tray was better than what's served on some flights in premium economy, and they use real silverware, nice touch. The plane might be older and tired, but it has character, wouldn't want to be wearing short shorts my thighs would stick to the seats 😉

[@tfft]

Yes, luckily someone pointed that out so I was able to correct it in 7 other videos (🤦🏼‍♂️) before uploading them haha

[@charliebrown5]

Thank You ✈️

[@tfft]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@advaiththeking]

Awesome trip report!you should take the 1st class suites on Singapore Airlines!

[@tfft]

I’m trying! Until then, happily accepting SQ First Fund donations 😅

[@carmenkinder5457]

At the Six Sense Samui right now. Let's see what you have to say. 😊

[@tfft]

Oh I reckon you have a pretty good idea haha

[@carmenkinder5457]

I think I have ... but let's see if we feel the same. Haha

[@etiennechoa2637]

great vid!

Hi Kevin - I noticed your resort videos in Thailand are mainly Phuket/Koh Samui. Any reason you don’t go to Krabi? Wondering if that region is any good

[@CDD1312]

We stayed in Phulay Bay, a Ritz Carlton Reserve in Krabi last year. Definitely an awesome place to check out if you have a chance!

[@tfft]

Absolutly nothing wrong with Krabi, I've been there before (pre-channel), but I am still trying to build the channel to a place where I can comfortably visit some more obscure palces. Fact of the matter is there is simply much more interest in Phuket and Samui. I'm sure Krabi (and Hua Hin, Pattaya and many other Thai destinations) will make it onto the channel as time goes by.

[@random1883]

I prefer the seats in front of the props.

[@tfft]

But then there’s no wing view 🙃

[@mikefellbach6841]

From now on it will be hard to stay anonymous. All hotels have to watch out for is a guy who wears a ring on his left thumb 🙂

[@tfft]

I’ve always said if any hotel or airline is detail oriented enough to identify me, then they deserve the advantage. (Still never understood the internet’s fascination with thumb rings tho lol)

[@brilliantbutblue]

And arrives in flip flops 😂

[@molnarmihaly951]

Excellent video, as always! I've said it before, but you're quality is fantastic! For some reason I just thought your Thailand trip was this year.. I live in Thailand and I thought it wasn't fully open after Covid in Feb 2022?

[@tfft]

Wow, blame it on over work I suppose, that is a mistake which I didn’t notice until wondering why you said this here. Apparently I don’t know what year it is now 😅. This trip was 2023. I’ll make a note of it in the description.

[@molnarmihaly951]

@@tfft Lol I wasn't sure if it was a mistake, but I totally understand. I've probably mixed up 2022 and 2023 50 times by now 🤣

[@tfft]

Yeah, this was my 2nd flight of the year and I’d been copying and pasting the graphic. Same mistake in my last video and just changed the graphics in the next 6 flight videos I’m working on now 😂 Thank you x8 haha.

[@davidporter2770]

I stumbled on your channel two weeks ago and enjoy your content. My go-to avgeek is Josh Cahill. And Josh is also honest. He also tries all these strange flights in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan PIA, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Kazakhstan, Krygistan etc. I hope you will broaden your videos outside of Turkish, SQ, Viet, Indian Etc. Thanks.🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@tfft]

Well, those are all just central Asian airlines haha. I have have a list of 120 or so airlines that I want to travel in the coming years. But, my content is a bit more extensive than you mentioned. I have plenty of European, American, African and South American carriers on the channel already as well with much more to come.

[@Unazaki]

Thats an amazingly generous in flight service for such a short fleet. It even looks pretty decent as well. Wow. Although I guess u technically paid for that with that airfare XD

[@tfft]

That’s actually a decent price for Bangkok Airways. They’re known for sometimes charging over $300 one way between Bangkok and Koh Samui 😅

[@ab23_r69]

I hope the last video covers the mandarin oriental or rosewood haha

[@tfft]

…? Umm, ok lol.
