| summary | I have been in Pangan Island and Sail Rock one year ago after corona settled
down. I tried to visit there again because sea was not clear and less fish than usual at that time. Though I don't remember a name, I found a day trip to Chumphon-Pinacle, Southwest-Pinacle and Sail Rock by internet. And then I found it another dive center as "Golden Triangle" by web site. I asked and booked it by email, however I didn't know how many participants it required. It didn't matter if that happened, we were able to go Sail Rock. |

| Itinerary | Third time to be Pangan Island in September, all by the Vietnam Airlines
the way to Bangkok. I stoped to dive in Tao Island the way to Bangkok last year. I prefered diving in Panagan Is. three days to droped to dive in Tao Is. as bad visibility last year. Departing in morning, and arriving in Bangkok at evening, then one night in Kao San, Bangkok. Getting on a bus at early morning, and a boat in Chumpong to Pangan Island. After diving in Pangan, ack to Bangkok, two nights and two days in there . Back home from the Bangkoko Airport to the Kansai Airport via the Hanoi Airport. |

| Ship Change |
I recieved email from the Vietnam Airlines about one month before departure. It said the ships were changed between Kansai and Hanoi: from B787 to narrow body. It let me down, but my seats were not changed still aisle fortunately. It seemed there were not enough passengers for the original plane. 20% or 30% Japanese passengers both the way to Hanoi and the way back. |

| Japanese Government Plane |
I found out the Japanese Government Plane for the first time at the Hanoi Airport. However I have seen it many times on television, I have never seen real one. I checked this matter by internet. There were some articles: these said Japanese Imperial Family bisited in Hanoi celebrating 50th anniversary of diplmatic relations between Japan and Vietnam. And the prime minister went to Now York to attend the United Nations conference. To move Tokyo, Hanoi, New York, Tokyo, Hanoi, Tokyo. It is not impossible to make quick trip, but the plane stayed there now. Each two plane might transfer separately. |
