BKK Airport and Thai Airways Lounge
I landed in Bangkok around 1 am and had a fairly long layover. I decided the layover was too short to get a hotel and none of the lounges opened until 5 am , so I just traipsed about for a few hours. Bangkok airport has free WiFi, but only for one hour. You have to go to one of the information desks, write down your name and passport number in a book, and then they give you a passcode that's good for one hour of free WiFi. Beyond that, you have to pay. I went to one information desk, got my code, and had a pleasurable hour watching some YouTube videos. But then my hour was up, so I went to a different information desk, wrote down a fake name and passport number, and enjoyed another hour of free WiFi. The fourth time around, I got my code and just wrote my name as James Bond and my passport number as 007007007. The lady at the information desk didn't seem to notice.
Finally, one of the Thai Airways lounges opened and I headed over. The lounge is nice, but only has one shower. I had to wait a while to use the shower and couldn't take my usual super long shower because there were a lot of people waiting.

TG 301
Duration: 1:25 hrs
Class: Business
After shoving a bunch of lounge snacks into my face, I boarded my flight to Yangon. I had been on planes/in airports for the past 40 hours or so with very little sleep, so I was very happy that this would be my last flight for a while.

The flight was very short (just a little over an hour), but a meal was still served. Can you imagine being served a meal on an hour long flight in the US? Most US airlines don't even serve drinks on a flight that short. You can view the menu here.

Shortly after finishing the meal, we began our descent into Yangon.
