It's better to be early than late when checking in to the airport and that's a philosophy i abide to in Singapore as there's so much to do at Changi International Airport.
When i am overseas, i tend to go by the same rule and that's mainly because i didn't want to miss my flight (as i did in Bali back in 2017) although being well ahead of time has its challenges too; for example, an airport with limited amenities as in the case of Bandung.
Terminal 2 of Phuket International Airport wasn't that bad, considering it is the 3rd busiest airport in Thailand even though the expansion in 2016 fails to anticipate the strong growth in passenger numbers over the past few years.
Compared to the kids' playground in Changi International Airport, the above seriously couldn't hold a candle! Well, better than not having any in the first place.
In terms of retail, it's like a (much) smaller scale version of what you seen in Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport; the king's power brand can be seen almost everywhere.
Gate 15 for our Scoot flight back to Singapore.
Boarding should have started at about 9.55 am but i was deprived of my caffeine fix; not to also mention that we have yet to take our breakfast. However, the shop above had too long a queue and with just one person manning the counter; the waiting time wasn't expected to be short.
This was this Big Burger and Grill that looked more attractive; facade wise.
Pricing wise, i doubt i can stomach it! Burgers that cost at least S$10 and sets priced at almost S$20! Even if i am keen, my dad would have jumped if i even dare to pay for such exorbitant prices!
Noticed a secondary level and i decided to proceed up. At this point, it would no longer be food and drinks as i only had about 10 minutes or so to board the plane and being a (somewhat) budget airline, Scoot wouldn't take kindly if i were to bring outside food in.
Queue to enter Gate 15; guess i still can afford a few more minutes.
More food options on the upper floor with a reduced queue; albeit doesn't translate into a shorter queue. I was glad Alex didn't accompany me as he would have made a beeline to Burger King!
As taken from the upper level - see how terribly long the subway queue was! I never feel incentivize to have subway outside of NUS since we would be granted 20% direct discount for showing our staff pass.
Map of 3rd floor - the so-called ground level of the departure area for Terminal 2 (for international flights) of Phuket International Airport; so cute, they indicated the beach too. Didn't manage to take the map for the upper level as dad was chasing me to board the plane!
