Thailand on my own. Flight with a transfer in Qatar on a huge A380. Overnight at Doha Airport

Flight to Phuket via Doha airport and Bangkok. Holidays in 2022 after the removal of restrictions on entry into Thailand. I flew on Qatar Airways, from Sheremetyevo Airport. The video shows a little Surin Beach and Patong Phuket. Delicious Thai food. The purpose of such a flight was a huge Airbus A380 of Qatar Airways, the largest passenger aircraft in the world. Boeing 787 Dreamliner flew on a flight from Moscow to Doha. Flights: QR338 and QR836
I saw cheap tickets to Tai from the guys in the TripToDream telegram channel. Signed for a long time, they constantly post cool offers both in Thailand and Bali.
I went on my own, did not use the services of a travel agency or tour operator. Now the Thailand Pass has been canceled and entry into Thailand is very simple. If you have a vaccination, you need to present a certificate, if not, then you need to do a test 72 hours before departure.
I bought air tickets through an online agency in Russia using a credit card issued by a Russian bank. Our credit cards do not work in Thailand. It is best to take dollars with you to Thailand, which can now be bought in Russia only in bank exchangers. For a few days of my stay in Phuket, I bought 500 dollars to pay for a hotel, taxi, food and buy a sim card.
The flight started from SVO airport. The video shows Aeroflot flight attendants. Departure to Doha, Qatar, Hamad airport takes place in the evening. Qatar Airways now fly to Moscow almost daily. The video shows check-in for a Qatar Airways flight, passing through border control at Sheremetyevo, I went through the self-passage counters. At Sheremetyevo, Terminal C showed the Lissitzky business lounge, which served passengers of all departing flights. Business hall Malevich was closed. While taxiing, it seems to me that our pilot was chasing a container loader into the plane. The commander's name was Shukri and he was from Morocco.
I arrived in Doha at night, I had a short connection of 55 minutes for the next flight. When I approached my gate, it turned out that my flight was delayed right up to eight in the morning. I was given a voucher worth 45 Qatari real, for which I could only buy a bottle of water and a glass of fruit.
The flight to Bangkok was on the largest passenger aircraft A380. Double-decker, I flew in economy class.
After arriving in Bangkok, I changed money, bought a SIM card at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). Stayed one night at a hotel near Bangkok airport. The next morning I flew to Phuket with Thai Smile on an Airbus A320. I saw an airline plane from Myanmar from the city of Yangon.
On the island of Phuket, I lived on Surin Beach in a villa. Showed me a bit about this village, Patong Beach, the current state of tourism in Phuket, food and my favorite places: Big Buddha, Rawai Market, and the beach near Phuket Airport. I also showed about fruits from Phuket and where to exchange money for Phuket. Near the Laguna Phuket complex, also called Boat Avenue Phuket, a new complex has opened with European cafes and shops in Phuket.
