Flight Experince Bangkok

You’re strapped into the captain’s seat, feet planted on the rudder pedals, right hand clamped to the thrust levers, left hand on the control column. You’ve had a full briefing from your own personal instructor, and you’re ready to fly the plane. With permission from Air Traffic Control, you advance the throttles and your Boeing 737 hurtles down the runway and takes off, climbing to 2000ft before banking into a 45° turn away from the airport. You’re airborne, and you can start to relax and appreciate the stunningly realistic scenery. But you don’t have too much time for sightseeing; you need to manage your air speed, maintain your altitude and watch your heading. You need to be aware of any other traffic in the area, and monitor a dazzling array of screens and indicators. This is Flight Experience Bangkok . Photo by Anders Thorsell.

Monaco guards

Almost every tourist in Monaco comes to see the Changing of the Guard, a 10-15 minute ceremony featuring a lot of stomping and clanking of guns. Every day at 11.55. The ceremony commences from the guard house on the opposite site of the square to the Palace and reverse. The chains across the square indicate where the guards will pass by.
