I remember before I wrote articles about savings and about anti-consumption, and with some people there has been controversy on these topics in comments. Indeed, how can you give up something, if not tried to live otherwise. As one person once told me they say you are cunning, justifying the fact that you have no money opportunities. On the one hand, I do not think that everything is necessary directly life try to draw conclusions, but on the other to me I am curious how much I need it personally. It’s great to take on your the skin try on life with high spending.
In general, the last wintering in Thailand, I decided to try some things: expensive hotel, business class, and lobster. So self it turned out that they did not specifically choose these positions, but start something. I report.

Expensive hotel
Upon arrival in Bangkok, I settled in an expensive hotel, where the room It cost as much as 2500 baht per day. Before that, I have never lived for such price in Thailand, usually at around 1000 baht.
What to say— Well, nice of course: everything is new, the spaces are very many, appliances, kitchen, even your ladyboy at the reception is. AND cool when the air conditioner in the living room is nicer at night include, not the one above the bed.
And the rooftop pool with views of the city is simply impressive. Well yourself you can see on the photo, I want to move to Bangkok right away. Generally, if you summarize, you liked it. Well, how can you not like it comfort to a simple freelancer?

Business Class
From Bangkok you had to fly to Samui (5 ways, like to get), and I bought a ticket a day before the flight, it’s still not I could decide whether to go there or not. Unfortunately, in the normal class the tickets from Bangkok Airways were already very expensive and almost not different from business, so I decided when, if not now.
Although I will see what it is, because the business class for a long the flight does not shine for me for a long time, the price is appropriate. (At all, I advise you to buy tickets in advance through Aviasales.ru and Skyscanner.ru, we usually use them.)
At the airport, when I approached the Blue Ribbon counter (for business class), they gave me a look, they say, to your next ordinary mortals. Heh, obviously I’m externally on typical business passengers. not like, the clothes are not the same, hair, and facial expression.
Blue Ribbon – Bangkok Airways Business Class
I passed the registration and after that I was supposed to have a special waiting room, VIP type. For some reason, there was no playground in it, as in ordinary hall. Sadness, I’m with Yegor. But there is peace and quiet, decorum and serious elderly men sit nobly and drink coffee.
Only you can’t sit quietly with Egor, rushed after him around hall, nailed him all to clamor in the area. So feel like a millionaire failed. The child is not adapted to the VIP conditions, rogue grows.
Blue Ribbon Lounge
In the waiting room for business class there is a free coffee. And I am with fool bought Padtai at the airport before check-in, who knew something. WITH the other side in this cafe choice, though wider than in a normal room Bangkok Airways, but also so-so: tea packaged, and Tom Yam from bum pack.
No, I ordered it, of course (I didn’t know what he was), and even ate, Still, the cost of tickets must be beaten. Probably, 20 bat beat off somewhere so much he stands in 7-eleven. Regret that the toilet roll I did not take paper from the toilet, I would even have had a twenty. Generally feel it’s time to go to Turkey in All-Inclusive to go, skills to pump, you look would adapt and still something pressed.

Any free food, not mastered to try
Toilet there is also not easy, so I decided not to tempt fate and be patient before the plane. Limited to only washing hands, suddenly would break all this electronics or shock it. Wild i what too.
Scary toilet, ran away immediately, as I saw

The shower is useful, suddenly last night spent the night in a tent and there was nowhere to wash
In the plane itself, I was disappointed at all – there wasn’t wide chairs that I have always seen in films, and just a fenced-off piece of the cabin where no one else was besides me. Some kind of wrong business class, in my dreams it was completely different.
But the attitude of the flight attendants is a song, they are straight from me motes blew, it became uncomfortable: you want water, you want to eat, and what else you to do. It is strange that the massage was not offered. Well landing / disembarking from the plane ahead of the rest, I am the first and all only after i go out. Such an important person is straight, blogger, yeah Plus, Samui was carried on a separate private typewriter from the aircraft to the airport.

Lobster
Well, the last thing to try is lobsters. Therefore, before leaving Bangkok, I went to Kung Restaurant Seafood or something like that. It has long been watched him, whole 3 months while I lived there, but I still couldn’t dare; then instead of lobster in the Thai eatery to go.
I ordered lobster (at 2500 baht / kg), rice, and some other dishes. And something did not put me at all. No, they are to taste normal, but why such a stir around them is not clear to me. I still I understand, durians there or mango are really unusual, but lobsters are no better than regular shrimp and are just as skinny. Armor I picked it up, tried to eat it (after all, and it is included in the price), but also not impressed.

Here are the lobsters themselves, what is there is not clear

P.S. I hope everyone understood that there is continuous sarcasm and self-irony, so for some reason it was written And the real conclusions that I have for myself made from all this experience, I will write a little later. It would not be me, if philosophical thoughts would not have arisen.
