Hi, I\u2019m Hazuki, owner of the hostel!
\nToday I write to you about a trip I made from Hiroshima to Bangkok. There are currently three low-cost airlines that fly this route from Hiroshima Airport.<\/p>\n
I took Nok Air\u2019s Hiroshima – Bangkok flight, which was established just recently in December of last year!<\/p>\n
This post is a very detailed account of that trip, and it ended up longer than expected, haha. I also brought up some memories of my 2013 solo trip to Bangkok.<\/p>\n
\u25cf Outbound Flight\u3000Boarding: Sunday 26 January 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n Nok Air Flight 3303<\/strong> This really is the most convenient, stress-free time slot. I woke up at 7 AM, left my central-Hiroshima home at 8:20, and arrived at Hiroshima Airport around 9;15. After lining up for about ten minutes at the check-in counter and dealing with the pre-boarding procedures, I proceeded to security just like that. In the small, regional airport of Hiroshima, pre-boarding procedures are over in a whim.<\/p>\n It\u2019s better not to plan any sightseeing on the first day if you take this flight, as you only arrive in the evening. You should have enough time to grab one final snack at a night market, however. As I was staying somewhere in the western outskirts of Bangkok, by the time I started heading back after dinner in the city centre, the neighbourhood was covered in utter darkness.<\/p>\n It can be a good idea to always leave some room in your schedule for flexibility, especially if your trip includes transfers, etc.<\/p>\n \u25cf Return Flight\u3000Boarding: Friday 31 January 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n Nok Air Flight 3302<\/strong> This overnight flight is a hit-or-miss. It\u2019s quite relaxing if you\u2019re traveling with kids, because even if they hate flying, they\u2019ll sleep. My own three-year-old with a buzzcut fell asleep right after having enjoyed take-off and he did not wake up once until just before landing. I, by contrast, felt wide awake for some reason and \u2014 not being able to sleep even shortly \u2014 I spent the flight watching some movies I had prepared in advance.<\/p>\n What\u2019s tricky about this flight is the dilemma whether to book one more night at your place of stay on this final day or not. A lone traveling adult could economise on this final night in the worst of cases, but not before doing some research on the surroundings of Don Mueang Airport as I explain below.
\nHiroshima, Japan HIJ\u300011:00\u3000Considerably delayed take-off at 11:30, likely due to congestion at Hiroshima Airport.<\/strong>
\nBangkok DMK\u300015:15\u3000Arrival in Bangkok at around 16:00.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nBangkok DMK\u30002:30\u3000Departed on schedule.<\/strong>
\nHiroshima, Japan HIJ 10:00\u3000Landed on schedule.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nMy son came along on this trip, so I booked a hotel room to avoid having to wait for too long at the airport. Although it located at just 2 kilometers from the airport, it is absolutely impossible to walk this distance with luggage and a child, so everything has to be thought out from beforehand. Downloading the Grab app (a Thai Uber-like ride-hailing app) should make things a little easier though. But this was our lucky day, because the hotel staff offered to drop us off at the airport with their own vehicle!<\/p>\n\n
