Next part of the worldwide planespotting-adventure!

This time we visit Bangkok International Airport, Thailand. Again we got up early to see a lot of departures.

This little airline links Bangkok with Ko Samui; in fact there are 16 flights per day! :o

Image

And of course the decent domestic carrier Thai Airways (2 flights a day).

Image

We arrived at Ko Samui, wonderful tropical Island near Surat Thani.
Some people are observing the takeoff from the main airport building (yes!thats the main building!no walls!).

Image

Leaving paradise behind, off to Bangkok. Notice the sitting buddha in the background!

Cool...I didnt see this one in real life, but anyway, thailand is filled to the maximum with buddhas. I even brought one home (although its officially not allowed ::))

I didnt arrive by plane. We got our car in Bangkok so we took the car ferry from surat.
A view of the real thing:
