Thanks. Malfunctioning baggage carts?

Poor Foolish must have been at Changi around 10am Singapore time, one hour ahead of Bangkok. For him it must be 2am or so, and he is still in a line at the airport. Quite appalling. At least hebisbthrough immigration. Then there is transport to hotel or wherever. Hopefully that is still running.

Yes, and unfortunately the buffaloes are all dead and the camels are having their humps fixed at Bumrungrad. 🙄

I'm in the queue to file a report on my delayed luggage. It's horrendously long 😅

Everyone queueing up for it now. The Thai flights after mine from Singapore were luckier. They got their luggage pretty fast while mine is stuck somewhere in limbo haha

There's probably been a mix up of some sort and they don't have sufficient staff to manage the crisis. Make sure you take pics of all the documents you fill in and also, very discreetly, of the officer handling your case and their name tag. I would've thought there'd be some online form you could fill up for this sort of thing.

They have a Google form, but there is no tracking number provided when i submit the form or at least an acknowledgement email. When i ask the staff if I can leave after submitting the form, they can't even provide an answer. So it's basically very poor handling by Thai Airway...

Thanks everyone for your concern 🥰

Still queueing but at least I'm near the end now.

It's been a lousy day but this will make tomorrow all the much better 🤭

Is this the form?

If you report in person at the counter, they should provide you with a file reference and a copy of the report.

Oh my. I hope that's not an omen. The Day After Tomorrow is a 2004 science fiction disaster movie where Earth returns to the Ice Age.

How are you, @Foolish ? I hope you got some rest.

We had this issue in Terminal 5 at LHR. Once the bags pile up, it all gets out of control, and no one can find anything. To coin a phrase, it's a perfect storm

it looks like all that travel thing got out of hand. I'm sure they don't have this kind of issues in Pyongyang , North Korea airport

Just a couple of observations of the last couple of days. As I said before, pretty quiet, even though weather has been dry. Last night, I looked down one corridor of Patpong market, and there wasn't a single shopper. This also means not much business for the girly bars. I was adding a new Lao stamp to my collection, so again, did not go into the go go bars, but I did walk down Patpong 2 from G's (nice meal as usual) and again, few people, and barkers not interested. Guido said there was no immediate lease termination, could be one year, 2, 3 or whatever. But he is not the most reliable source. He did say that G's in Pattaya now has a cat!

Still a lot of activity on Grindr, for me, more than half a dozen very acceptable offers, my new stamp came from there. Quite persistent, some of them, so I assume business is slow. Meal at Wine connection with forum member, and colleague, and coffee at G's, rather attractive new waiter! Coffee at G's was the best I've had in Bangkok!

They had to bring in the army!

Nor at Siem Reap, with 22 gates, and 16 or so flights a day!

To misquote Tom Lehrer, "once the bags stack up, who cares where they come down......"

Heard an interesting comment from local friends. Story is that airport/Thai Airways, prioritised Thai Airways partner airlines, so Thai itself avoided penalties, thereby leaving Thai passengers up creek sans paddle. Sounds plausible!

TREE ANTS.

Flavor Profile: A savory, slightly spicy stir-fry featuring tender slices of beef tossed with garlic, herbs, chili, and red tree ants. The ants provide a distinct, natural tangy or citrus-like sourness along with a subtle crunch.

Sounds yummy! I like the subtle crunch!

don't be sorry , sounded tasty. Where did you find it? surely not in Foodland as tree ants are not on Michelin approved menu list neither eating them is supported by UNESCO

Now that @jimmie50 has reappeared in the Cambodia forum, to everyone's relief, @Foolish is missing in action. Last we heard, he was in a massive queue to file a baggage report. I hope he didn't have to spend all night at Suvarnabhumi in that queue, or better yet, I hope he's been reunited with his luggage by now. It's a very upsetting way to start a holiday.
