RELAXATION
IN THECATHAY
PACIFIC
LOUNGE
A trip from Canada to Asia isn’t
without significant time spent at
airports, but with a stop in one
of the six Cathay Pacific lounges
at Hong Kong International
Airport as you await your flight to
Bangkok you can take an hour—
or several—to relax and refresh.
A quiet space with great food
and drink (the noodle bar offers
up impressive airport food) away
from the stress of the boarding
gates is just what’s needed to
recharge before the next phase
of your once-in-a-lifetime trip.City Scenes
There’s so much to take in when
visiting Bangkok—it’s truly a
place of sensual delights. From
tourist-driven hot spots like
Khaosan Road to the bustling
and fragrant floating flower
markets, there’s no shortage of
bright Instagrammable eye
candy that takes your breath
away. Our must-dos to immerse
yourself in a world away from
your everyday: riding in one of
the traditional longtail speed-
boats, travelling around by
tuk-tuk, visiting the magnificent
Wat Suthat Thepwararam
Buddhist temple and noshing
on the world-class street food
(the Pad Thai at Thipsamai
should not be missed).5
