Good and real people at last , great information in regards to the cost of flights.

Good effort and engaging narrative, your just being yourself which is unusual and a welcome change

Me and my girlfriend first traveled to Thailand on Gulf AIR in 1993, cost £485 each, when that was a lot of Money, still got the old paper tickets, great memories, hope you enjoyed your trip as much as we did.

Brilliant video keep them coming

Hi Benjamin while your young you can do that kind of long journey I remember I did that same journey 33 years ago when I went Thailand for the first time and I’ve never looked back Thailand is an Amazing country and the Thai people are fantastic, These days I travel to Thailand 2/3 times a year I won’t go anywhere else good luck to you both

It’s a de icing solution, they have different colours depending on how cold it is

My girlfriend and me have been to Thailand 3 times now and its just the best place to visit. Food + people are amazing.

Really enjoyed this video. Hello from Sheffield. I’ve just got back from Thailand having visited the country twice before. Keep up the great work on the channel. Really looking forward to more content.

Well done guys on our first Vlog , keep up the good work .

Ah!!! I remember when I was around your age and started traveling to various countries. Your observation of things ( culture, food, architecture, mannerisms..) will be like a sponge the first time- soaking up everything. Enjoy.

I did the same route without the stopover with an old boyfriend on an old 757 😮 nearly 34 years ago. 1 week in Bangkok and 1 week in cha am, loved every minute. Had my 22nd birthday in the land of a thousand smiles.🙏🏻

Did the same route in September last year- for £601 return. On both legs to Bahrain got upgraded. I used to fly Gulf Air quite regularly until very recently (having lived in the Middle East for a decade). It is a little less (ok, a lot less) flash than Emirates- but they have improved quite a lot since they moved to the new airport.

Lying by the pool in our hotel in Pattaya, Koh Samet tomorrow for a few days, went to Phu Quoc Vietnam for a fortnight before coming here for a month, we leave for Ho Chi Minh end of January for a week then home to the UK have a great time in Thailand enjoy the sunshine and great people, yes it was de-icer for the wings ,

de icing fluid mainly gylocal

We think it was de icer they were spraying on wings

Love to see the 2 off you at your age going on a new adventure doing it the right way on a budget once you been you get hooked with land off smiles me and wife started going 20 odd years ago been on every bus taxi train ferry every island luxury hotel midrange geust house and still love it so looking forward to your new highs and lows so enjoy stay safe

You should be looking at round about 15 hours overall from Manchester to Bangkok, including the stop in Middle East.

Safe flight n both of you is a perfect couple ❤

That hotel was actually good value but something I wouldnt waste £30 on....Bahrain has Wifi in the airport free and that transit was pretty short compared to many I've done down the years with different airlines.....flight price decent in current climate....pre Covid Gulf was rarely more than £370 out of London to Bangkok (appreciate you were Manchester)

Hope you guys got through ok. Just be careful with the 3 day overstay, as it’s actually a fine. The Thai government have got really strict about overstays which might hinder you re entering within a certain time frame.

Go pattaya,you may aswell go to benidorm 😂 Sod getting on a plane they need to spray with de-icer 😎🥳

Liked นะ..

Great value flight price, but I prefer to do it in one direct flight. So I normally end up paying double your fare. However back in May'23 I flew with Qatar 16hrs with 1 hour 50 mins layover in Doha for a mere £630

They are spraying de-icer on the wings, because ice and planes don't mix too good.

I thought the UK got 30 days on arrival no visa needed 🧐nice video have fun and keep them coming 🙏

I've heard some nasty things about Gulf Air in the past, but they don't seem bad at all. I always fly with Thai Airways to Thailand.

The fluid sprayed onto the lift surfaces of the aircraft is anti-icing fluid. Ice on the surfaces degrades the lift provided by the wings and has caused disasters in the past.

Took a flight with Gulf Air to Bangkok at the end of November, always remember you get what you pay for in this life - Gulf Air might be cheap but the onboarding catering was disgusting, I’ve travelled to Thailand on 33 occasions and the onboard service and food has to be the worst I’ve experienced- the seats also were so uncomfortable. Pay extra and travel with emirates or Qatar, I certainly will be at the end of April. Also, don’t under any circumstances- book a sleeping pod in the airport hotel in Bahrain, absolute waste of money- soundproofing was abysmal, no chance of getting any sleep

Where did you find the hotel in the airport

👍

they are spraying de-icer on the wings

Did you book the flight through airline or like skyscanner or something?

Did the flight from Bahrain also by Gulf, or another airline?

I’ve been over 85+ times……cheap tickets as I worked for Etihad 9 years…..Bizz class all the way for peanuts!….i miss it

Thank you for uploading your travel video to Bangkok. It was very nice to watch and give you a big E for your effort. The reason why the wings were being sprayed was for dicing. It is normal practice by airlines to undertake this because without dicing the air providing lift to the wings will be effected. This can result in the aircraft crashing on take off. When the .aircraft is airborne the engines provide dicing automatically happen. I have only been to Thailand once in 1990. and at that time I travelled with Thai Airlines. Since marrying a Filipina I have flown 25 times to the Philippines mainly with KLM. My thoughts and experience of Thai people is neutral as Thailand is known for LOS the land of smiles. Yes, Thai people smile when you spend money at their bars, restaurants etc but in reality hate you for being a foreigner. If Thai people had their own way no foreigners would be welcomed tin Thailand. The majority of the people and the Thai government rely on tourism as it provides approximately 14% of annual GDP. Always bear in mind Thai people will happily scam you out of your money with a smile on their face.

They are de-icing the plane . So no buildup of ice, or you be in big trouble!!!!!!

They were spraying the plane with de-icer

Hi did you need to get a visa to travel through bahrain ??

Gulf Air is excellent value for money but the 4 hour wait at Bahrain is a nightmare....Oh well, you cant have everything.

He's probably spraying de-icer on the wings. It leaves a coating that increases surface tension. Ice on wings = less fuel economy, and less lift. AS we all know lift is very important for planes.

Why Udon Thani..no beach there?

Any return ticket under £500 Uk to Bangkok is a good deal.

My wife and I travel a lot, we get ultra cheap deals. And go to amazing places.

I fly with Emirates from Birmingham the last time I flew was in November and the return flight was not good so the next time I fly i will give Qatar airline, have a nice time in Thailand

It's de-icer

Please CORRECT the SPELLING of THAILAND on your Intro

Can't believe you didn't know why they were spraying the planes wings b4 take off..... and to think it was water hahaha They are de-icing the plane, water is the last thing they are gonna spray on it And £30 less than 3 hours for a room, whats the point? your not gonna sleep in those 3 hours. You had a morning flight and flight time would have been just less than 7 hours, your body clock would be telling you around mid afternoon, you shouldn't be tired. Better to spend the money on lounge access where you can get free food free drink and a free shower rooms

You both should head to Pattaya, it's one crazy city, visa on arrival. Guys you get 30 days without a visa in Thailand

A nice video, guys ! 👍 Yes, Gulf Air are cheap but the service looks pretty good value for money. Wow ! That stop-over hotel in Bahrain looks well worth £30 ! Hope that you had a good time in Thailand and good luck for the channel ! Well done ! 👍👍

Spraying jellybean powder only joking, they are deicing the plane.

Why do you need a visa? Uk travellers allowed to stay 30 days without a visa. Staying 60 days you need a tourist visa, if longer you either have to go to immigration or pop over the border & return.

Thailand or Thialand?

lol DE ICING not Water !!!!!!

Try £350 pp ... I have

The tourist visa is free for 30 days so I don't understand why you where charged at the airport

I'm sure i'm not the only one to notice but you spelt Thailand wrong in your opening "credits"

Get a grip.stessfull going through security.high end problems

The incidental music is awful
