When James Lloyd wanted to get from Christchurch, New Zealand to London, England, he turned to the travel search engine Skyscanner.
He was shocked when the site suggested a layover of more than 413 000 hours (47 years) in Bangkok. He posted a screengrab of the suggestion to Facebook and contacted Skyscanner to ask what they thought he should do during this extremely long wait.
Skyscanner took it in their stride and were quick to come back with a quirky reply.
“Unless you're a huge fan of The Terminal, I'd probably recommend spending those years outside of the airport, so here are a few suggestions:
• Missed Songkran but you've got another 46 years to enjoy it.
• How do you feel about heights? The Moon Bar is pretty good and it's open until 1am so you could spend a good chunk of time there.
• A cruise on the Chao Phraya river could keep you busy for a while.
• If you get peckish there's a floating market. Not only good for grub, but you could make a few mates whilst you're there. Win/win.
• Become a Tai Chi expert in Lumpini Park.
