I took all the budget flight on this trip in order to have the best cost saving air tickets!
So, at budget term in the morning!
Reaching Bangkok at abt 9am and thus porky and me have to transit there for abt 5hrs.
So, we did walk around the airport, round and round.
Did our lunch there at the airport too. hehe

U would have to take their airport bus to taipei city because Taoyuan is pretty far away from Taipei City.
So, porky and I took the FreeGo bus.
Its about 140 NTD per pax which is about $6 in Sing for about 1hr plus ride to Taipei City.
There are alot other different companies airport buses.
Must see where u wana go in Taipei City.
This is their train's prority seating stickers.
Can go ask for the stickers if u need the seat.
Anyway, during peak hours, these seats are not usually occupied by normal ppl UNLIKE singapore.
Anyway, porky and I stayed in a hotel near XiMenDing.
