Horrible last day in Bangkok 13th July
Today I am on urgent leave to take good rest and break after terrible last day in Bangkok (BKK). Reached Singapore around 11.30pm after check out from immigration and wait for luggage reach home like 12.45 am after drop one colleague who share cab with me. I was home take bath by 1 am then I had to send out one email to my boss to apply leave and another email to HR to complain about this trip.

Everything was fine on first 2 days. Since its a free and easy trip we are to take care our ownselves and find our group to go out shopping or sightseeing ourselves. I was with my room mate most of the time as we want to go sighseeing before shopping and reserve shopping to last day. (I will share details or first 2 days trip later).

Then my colleague she fall sicker and sicked from 2nd day onwards. She has spent alot of time sleeping and resting. So I decided that why not she rest on last day then we go out shopping after checkout from hotel around 12.30 pm. We walk to Central World which many of my colleagues has gone past 2 days. We wanted to go buy "wacoal" stuff (female should know what we are buying la). We got what we wanted then go for lunch and then walk back to Platinum mall where alot of cheap clothings, bags and titbits.

We have 45 mins before 4.30pm where our tour bus will arrive to pick us. Then after we complete shopping most of items at level 5, my colleague wanted to get 3 tees but she saw some costume jewellery and decide to go for that and choosing. I see we have about 5-7 mins left so I sms one colleague to inform her pls ask bus to wait as we just next door be back very soon. She told me "Oh, bus left wo 2 of you now turning back to fetch you" then another same IT dept colleague sms me to ask why I was. It seems that 30 of us supposed in the bus but there happen to be 2 "Foreigners" meaning not belong to my company in same bus. The tour guide has miscounted these 2 people as part of us so assume 30 people were already on board and left the Hotel about 8-10 mins before the time 4.30 pm.

I am so shocked, I shouted at my colleague to leave now no time to buy bus leaving. Then we ran as fast as possible from 5th level down despite alot of people in escalators and reach hotel before 4.30pm and I was almost out of breath. I saw the tour guide she said "Oh you two ah, don't worry bus will wait we won't leave you behind". (What a joker, she even announced later in bus when we leave not to worry we wont leave you behind. Then why the bus leave and turn back?? She said bus has to go because cannot park, please lah want to explain also give a better reason)

I had to go and catch a breath before get up the bus and scream for the RC member who was supposed to do headcount. He came walking slowly towards me (look afraid) I asked him "Did you do any headcount? How can you leave 2 of us behind?" He was quiet but said "Yes" meaning he did count. I don't know how he counted and how we can be missed out. I am fuming angry this is my 3rd trip and first time the trip being arranged this way.

Also not forgetting bus broke down on way to airport, we have to wait for another bus to pick us. Tour guide mentioned we have to take care of what is still on blus the bus driver will help with luggage. While getting down the bus saw Susan and my luggages actually were placed near exit. Lucky I noticed and asked Susan to take her luggage while another male colleague help me with one of my luggages. Then at Bangkok gate waited quite long for departure. Then Tiger airways staff informed that flight was full and those who did not manage to get seat will have to get next days' flight. Flight was delayed for like 20 mins.

Did HR brief the RC member his responsibilities clearly? If bus leave us behind we take cab to airport, can we claim from company or tour agent?? I am so dead tired today I had to take leave while my colleague has to take MC as she got very sick now. If I did not apply leave I think I will fall sick. I wrote complain email to HR in morning at 1.18 am as I am still angry how this has happened. Someone has to look into this and make sure it wont happen next time.
