Creator's Key Takeaways
We booked this hotel for 240,000 Chase Sapphire Ultimate Rewards points and saved over $9800 compared to booking this direct in cash.
The crew were amazing. Um food was okay. Nothing particularly special, but it was an enjoyable flight overall.
The bed cinema was located within the central world shopping mount. Now, as with all main buildings and hotels, even some houses, they all have these things called spirit houses.
It's just the place that everyone goes to and every and everyone goes there.

Today we leave our Airbnb in Kuala Lumpur and head to our next destination, Bangkok Thailand. We leave KL after 2 months and fly Thai Airways in Royal Orchid class before we arrive into our new location for 20 days. We booked this hotel for 240,000 Chase Sapphire Ultimate Rewards points and saved over $9800 compared to booking this direct in cash. Being in South East Asia for 6 months involves a lot of malls and Bangkok is no exception. We visit Terminal 21 which is just down the road from the Hyatt Regency and had some custom tailored outfits for the wedding before visiting the famous Bed Cinema in Central Square Mall. Each mall is different and caters for tourists, locals, high end or everyday retail. We finish at the HUGE IconSiam Mall, the 3rd biggest mall in the World. We managed to snag a boat from the Peninsular hotel for free and wandered in the lower levels which is more of a night market but undercover, in air conditioning and definitely worth a visit.

We are a pair of British Expats that decided to retire in our early 50’s to travel the world full time. In 2004 we left Leicester in England to live in Davenport Florida and set up a Flower Shop. We brought our 2 Rottweilers along for the ride and they had a great life in the sun. Through all of the trials and tribulations that involves (Recession, COVID, Hurricanes, Inflation and everything else) in 2023 we sold that flower shop, our house and our car to become nomadic. We sold everything we own aside from some items in our storage unit mainly photos and a few keepsakes. We made the decision to be carry on only so while we do swap out our clothes dependent on the season and where we are going we travel light. In April 2024 we set off with 10 million credit card points and the money we had saved to become Global Nomads. We plan to use the credit card points to travel until they run out and will then start to spend our money on accommodation. So in the first 2 years or longer we will primarily be in Hiltons, Hyatt’s, IHG and Marriotts as we have Hotel status with all 4. We are not budget travelers and will fly first class if it is affordable or we can get it for points. We will take cruises to help us go from a to b or geoarbitrage as it is now called and because we want great deals with special experiences plan 18-24 months out. We then fill in the gaps as we get nearer to the time. Helen has an autoimmune disease which makes walking hard and accessing doctors and bloodwork were a major concern on our travels. We will document the process of appointments, prescriptions, bloodwork and keeping on top of all of that when you are thousands of miles from your primary care Doctor We love Formula 1 so will be at races if they match our dates and plans. Helen travels with a Nikon camera so wildlife photography is definitely a passion, as with all photography it comes with a lot of heavy gear that takes up valuable space and weight! Life is short, we intend to see everything we can while we are young….ish We are here for a good time, not a long time. https://www.facebook.com/GlobalNomads93/ https://www.instagram.com/globalnomads93?igsh=emg1ZzkybnJyOXZv Email: globalnomads93@gmail.com
