I found out something cool today. I took the Skytrain to the Mo Chit terminus. Then hopped a cab. Took about 40 minutes total from Pholen Chit Skytrain station. Best of all, the cab ride was only 100 baht from Mo Chit to the Airport!
\nSo in total, it was 135 baht. 35 more than what the hella slow airport basi would have cost, but saved a LOT of time.
\nNow with all that time on my hands (I got to the Airport 6 hours early!), I decided to check out the Royal Thai Air Force Museum that is supposed to be, according to Time Out Bangkok, \u201cright behind the airport\u201d.
\nProof that these travel guides are great for general reference and they usually get the facts straight, but in this case, it seems that the writer just looked at a map and wrote about it. Because…
\nit was 10 clicks away! That\u2019s 75 baht in a cab folks! Once I got there though, it was pretty cool. The museum looks like it\u2019s in an old air base and the airplanes are parked all around so you can check them out up close and personal.

\nThey have old old planes and a lot of planes from the Vietnam War era inside.
\n<\/a> <\/a>
\nBasically all the planes I made models of at one point in my youth.
\nThere was also a Mark XIX Spitfire. Hella cool!
\n<\/a>
\nGot stuck in the beginning of rush hour as I was trying to get back to the airport. That ride took 95 baht because of that. Grrrr.
\nIf I knew just how distant this was, I would have just hung out in the air con airport!
\nNext stop: Changi!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
