Hello everyone! I’ve been lurking around this awesome website for many months now and have enjoyed all the posts here tremendously. In fact it feels like I’ve gotten to know you all by just reading and sharing your opinions and travel experiences. I hope I’ll get the chance to know some of you in person and I promise to buy drinks 
I’m currently based in Shanghai and mostly travel in AsiaPac region. I used to travel on SQ pretty frequently a couple of years ago. Due to the change of company travelling policy (i.e. to avoid flying the most expensive airlines – which is almost always SQ for the routes I fly), I have since switched to Dragonair (KA) and CX almost exclusively. Nonetheless the romance of flying with Singaporegirls live on in my mind, though I have grown to enjoy CX services (especially when speaking Cantonese with CX crew
) and the occasional op-ups.
I had recently taken a 10 days trip to Thailand and Singapore, of which 7 days were spent in a fasting and detox camp in Koh Samui. After going around the world with you all through your exceedingly wonderful trip reports, I humbly contribute my virgin trip report here
My travel schedule for the trip:
Sept 27 – PVG to BKK via HK, on KA then CX. Overnight at Conrad Bangkok.
Sept 28 – BKK to Koh Samui on Bangkok Airways (PG). Spent the next 7 days in a simple resort for the fasting and detox camp.
Oct 5 – Koh Samui to BKK on PG. Overnight at Intercontinental Bangkok.
Oct 6 – BKK to SIN on CX. Spent 2 nigths at Crown Plaza Changi.
Oct 8 - SIN to PVG via HK, on CX then KA. Overnightssssssss at home
Here we go …
The flights to Bangkok from Shanghai (via HK) were uneventful, except that I was upgraded to J for the HKG-BKK sector as Y was oversold. As I have taken the same flights so many times over the years, it didn't occur to me to take photos. Apologies.
The immigration line at Suvarnabhumi was very short when I arrived at 7pm. Therefore I did not bother to look for the special counters for Apec Traveler Card holders. Once at landside, I met with the pre-arranged hotel pick up and was on my way to Conrad in the new Mercedes S-class in no time. The traffic was light on that Saturday night and the whole journey to the hotel only took 25 mins. I was immediately sent to my room by the very kind hotel staffs. The whole process from arrival to completion of in-room check in only took 3 minutes. I guess it helps that this is my 5th visit to the hotel this year.
Some pics of the room:
Conrad Bangkok elephant (as cute as the LH duckies
)

. Check-in was a breeze and I went immediately to the lounge with 1 hour to spare. 
The only trouble was that I returned home 1lb heavier. So much for detoxing! I hope you had better luck.
I don't like the idea of having to stay near a toilet.
