Thai Airways adds more flights to Denpasar



Thai Airways is adding more flights from Bangkok to Denpasar and improve the quality of its services as the route is celebrating 34 years of operation.

Thai Airways' most popular route from Bangkok to Denpasar is increased to seven flights per week to the increasing demand, which is usually derived from expats and Balinese meet.

The airway was only five flights a week to Bali during the first operation.

"They tourism benefits between the people of Indonesia, especially in Bali [local and expatriates], and Thailand, in line with ASEAN cooperation between the two countries", "Bali general manager Thai Airways', Phi-roon Sakulthong, said in a release last weekend made ​​available to the Jakarta Post Travel.

Aside from adding the number of flights, the carrier has also upgraded its flight service quality.

The retrofit Boeing 777-200 aircraft have 30 business class seats and 279 economy class, all of which come with in-flight entertainment facilities.

Thai Airways have their first flight to the island in 1979, with an Airbus 300 aircraft.

Seeking solitude at the Blue Lagoon, Bali



My efforts to create a favorable conversation about the Blue Lagoon beach in Padang Bai, Bali, yield is usually met with doubtful questions.

"It is right next to the port, it will not get noisy with all the activities and ferries? Will not be populated by passing visitors?"

It is fair enough that these doubts were raised. Blue Lagoon is located just 100 meters from the port of Padang Bai - one of the busiest in Bali apart from Gilimanuk port on the western part of the island and the port of Benoa in the south.

Located in the eastern part of the island, Padang Bai is the main hub of Bali connect the island to other areas in the east, such as Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores and Sumba.



Ships, such as ferries and boats inevitably noisy, and this is exacerbated by the pollution in the form of waste from fish trade because Padang Bai is also a lively fishing village.

All these man-made factors theoretically make areas near Padang Bai undesirable. But this is hardly the case, thanks to the natural barriers enclosing the harbor.

On both sides of the stand tall cliffs that most of the clutter and noise made by the port blocking.

The Blue Lagoon beach, located on the eastern part of the port, with the same characteristics. Surrounding rocks serve as natural barriers to the 100-meter-long coastline.



The difference between Blue Lagoon and Bias Tugal is a bit like choosing between shoes and sandals. Bias Tugal offers cheaper options, difficult access, rustic huts selling cheap food and an acceptable toilet shack.

Blue Lagoon, on the other hand, enjoy well-built infrastructure such as concrete terraces, stairs to the beach, a decent parking, sun beds, restaurants, beach showers and modern flush toilets.

Despite this, Blue Lagoon is hardly an expensive place to get a tan or go snorkeling.

Beers cost the same as many cheap beach-side bars in Kuta and Seminyak, sunbeds are available for rent all day long for only Rp 25,000 (U.S. $ 2.50), renting snorkeling equipment costs Rp 50,000, and go for off-shore snorkeling with a ship cost around U.S. $ 30 - snorkeling equipment rental included.
