It was a very long awaited-for trip. Exploiting a promo from Airasia, a Malaysian budget airline, we booked return tickets Jakarta – Bangkok –Jakarta for only Rp 750,000 / pax. But guess what.. the booking was in March, for usage in late October..! It felt ages until finally October came. We also booked for Bangkok – Phuket – Bangkok tickets with normal price, also Rp 750,000. So in total, our flights fare is Rp 1,500,000 / pax (that’s about US$ 150 around the booking time). Too bad for one of us, Bondy, he couldn’t make the trip cos his busy schedule at work wouldn’t allow him to. So there went his Rp 1,500,000 for nothing.. ☹
