The room was super cost-effective: spacious room with nice city view. However, there were some problems such as lack of soap, housekeeping left used towel on the chair, key card doesn't work and so on. The staff dealt with it but gave no explanation. Other staff was kind and helpful.

Since our flight ticket doesn't include extra bags, we decided to carry these big bags.

According to the website of the Priority Pass, all the airport lounges in the concourse are temporarily closed. However, last time I've seen a similar notice about another airport, but they were open. Unfortunately, this time there was no lounges open in the concourse of the Inchon airport.

Sky Hub Lounge : Airside - International Departures. After Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Area, proceed down to the terminal basement and take the 'Starline'. The lounge is located on the 4th Floor of the East Side of Terminal 1 Concourse.

At this point, I noticed that our plan on carrying bags was not a good idea.

I just can't keep watching this.

It was our first time flying with the Air Asia. There was a little change of time but everything went smooth, and furthermore the price was very cheap especially considering the traveling cost is increasing as the Covid-19 policy gets loosen.

Hello, Bangkok! Koreans don't need Visa for staying less than 90 days, and all the Covid-19 regulations regarding immigration were cancelled.

We took a cab to the hotel.

The driver seemed very sleepy and keep shaking his head trying to stay awake. Finally he pulled out something from a plastic bag, and began eating sesame leaves. Koreans also eat sesame leaves but didn't know that it has such an effect.

The roads were quite crowded due to APEC. I began to feel excited as I found these street food sellers.

When I choose the hotel, I picked an area that is close from The Hop and the train station, that we'use when going to Hua Hin. And Siri Sathon Hotel provided very cost-effective room as a promotion probably.

super cost-effective but need more concern

I knew the room would be quite big, but even bigger than expected.

Very spacious, especially compared to those tiny ones we used to stay in Europe, that we barely find spaces to store our luggage.

Bath tub!

We didn't even use this table.

I was satisfied with everything about this hotel until we came back in the evening and found these wet towels on the chair. Well, they can forget and make mistakes, but when I explained to the front desk they didn't apologize and didn't even seem to be sorry. (The phone was also broken and I had to walk down there.)

We came back from Hua Hin and checked in the same hotel we had stayed.

They upgraded our room to a bigger one.

She was too tired so I went out alone to buy some food.

Whenever I pass by this area was always crowded, so just looked around. Mostly bars and there were gay people with colorful costumes, who get paid by taking pictures with tourists.
