MAGAZINES, WITH ADDED EXTRAS

You really never know what you're going to find on sale in the magazines section at Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok.
There's no doubt whatsoever that a lot of the magazines make their way to the vendors from Thai Airways. To reinforce this my March edition of Reader's Digest Asia, which I purchased yesterday, helpfully contained the complete flight itinerary of the previous reader. For the record the gentleman made a day trip from Bangkok to Hong Kong on March 18 and paid 7,900 baht.
In many ways the details of his trip are more interesting that what's in the magazine.

LOL! Yes, I should imagine so!

In all seriousness, I am wondering (a) why the passenger took a three-hour flight to spend little more than five hours in Hong Kong and then another three hours back, and (b) how he managed to get the ticket for just 7,900 baht when the standard price from Thai is about 12,500 baht.

Too much information can be dangerous, especially for the journalist in me. :-)
