Day 1, Bangkok

THE DATE: January 28, 2018

THE TRIP 

08:17          Our Fam arrived at Suvarnabhumi airport. After immigration and baggage collection, we went to the DTAC counter near Gate 7 to collect 2 sim cards we bought from Klook. Our Klook DTAC Sim Card (available in Standard, Micro or Nano size) has an unlimited data for 8 days with 100 THB call credits (equivalent to approximately 30 minutes of talk time). The unlidata has a maximum speed of up to 2.5 GB which drops to 384 kbps after using up 2.5 GB. Also, 4G/3G speeds will depend on the coverage area. We handed our printed vouchers, phones, and passports to the staff in the DTAC booth. After a few minutes, she gave us our configured phones with activated Thai sim cards and our passport. Now, we can use uber to find our ride to our rented Airbnb unit in Bangna. Miscellaneous: 383 PHP per sim card (76.6 PHP per day)

Airfare per person was 4,691.04 PHP and 15 kg. check-in luggage was 690.00 PHP per way.
