Sh*t Happens - Lost Girl TravelPublished 3 years ago in WanderQuarantine in Bangkok
My flight arrived in the early hours of the morning in August. The trip to Thailand from Egypt I will admit was a nightmare. This had nothing to do with Thailand but to do with the incompetence of Gulf Air who left me sitting in an airport terminal in Bahrain after putting me on a flight I should never been allowed to board.
