[QUOTE=Ny Desiman]So, I can book a flight online at airasia.com and after arriving at the international terminal, clearing customs, collecting luggage, I can walk to the domestic wing in the same terminal to fly to phuket?[/QUOTE]Sure can.

You'll come out of immigration/baggage/customs on level 2, and then proceed up to level 4 to check back in for your Air Asia flight.

Air Asia check-in is at the E row (if I remember right). Just make sure you check in at least 45 minutes before your flight or you'll lose your ticket.

Yes, you can!

For as little as approximately $45/EUR30 for a single trip.

However, take into account that your baggage allowance is only15 kilos for checked baggage.

So if you have a heavy suitcase you'll have to pay for the excess luggage. You can check on their website how much they charge.

As I always travel light I've never had to pay extra.

Never rains when it pours.

[QUOTE=Ny Desiman]So, I can book a flight online at airasia.com and after arriving at the international terminal, clearing customs, collecting luggage, I can walk to the domestic wing in the same terminal to fly to phuket?[/QUOTE]Just be sure to leave enough time. BKK is one of the world's biggest airports. Not crowded, just huge.

[QUOTE=Etaoin2003]BKK is one of the world's biggest airports. Not crowded, just huge.[/QUOTE]And badly laid out. Changi for example is even larger but it seems you never have to walk more than 100m or so. At Swampyphum it's often closer to a kilometer. Between the distances and the confusing signage, a lot of people miss connections here.

I'd be grateful for some advice:

I'm attending a conference in Singapore later this year, and I'd like to fly my TGF out there for company. She has travelled there once before in the company of another man, and was questioned at Immigration before being let in. I won't be able to accompany her through Immigration on this occasion, although I can meet her at the airport.

Does anyone know what documentation she would require to get through Immigration easily? Return flight ticket? Evidence of hotel booking? Enough funds? I suspect she may wish to stay on after I depart (presumably to do some local sightseeing?) so a return ticket might be awkward.

Thanks in advance.

PS If you want to know why I am bringing a Thai girl to Singapore, it's because I like her... :-)

Mouse. I am surprised. Singapore and Thailand are both members of ASEAN, meaning free travel and no visas needed between those countries.

It might have been a one off situation, OTOH, Thai girls are known for flying to S'pore for a week or so, to work, as ST and LT prices are higher than Thailand. So immigration at Changi might be looking for a pattern, and ask a few questions to all pretty TGs.

If you get her a return ticket, make sure it is a ticket which can be changed with no fee, or a very small fee. Or buy her a ticket, which is electronic, which can be cancelled without penalty. Once she has the print out, cancel the ticket, and buy her the real ticket she is planning on using. (I do this with hotel bookings for my indo GF, so she can show the european embassy where she is applying for a visa that she does, in fact, have a hotel booked, and paid for. I make the booking, pring out the confirmation, then immediately cancel it).

PS. if you do that, make sure her real flight is the same as the cancelled one. it would look strange if she shows an "E" ticket landing at 10.00 pm, when she in fact landed at 11.00 am. but at least, her return ticket is ..........up to you.

[QUOTE=Mouse1] Does anyone know what documentation she would require to get through Immigration easily? Return flight ticket? Evidence of hotel booking? Enough funds? I suspect she may wish to stay on after I depart (presumably to do some local sightseeing?) so a return ticket might be awkward. /[QUOTE]Enough funds would be essential and a return ticket to show she is on a shopping break. Up to you if you want to front her the dough but no funds and no return ticket would spell trouble. I have an old hooker friend who goes there all the time shopping, for customers.

On another matter, I see some guy is selling videos of his Bkk/Pattaya experiences on ebay and doing quite well at it too. Hundreds of positive feedbacks. Takes all types.

What's been happening in LOS {Land Of Scams} lately:


[quote=]
ThailAnd as a tourist destiation has never really recovered since the tsunami in 2004.
Just as it started to pick up we had the coup with tanks on the streets.
At the same time the stand in government changed the rules overnight about Expats dealing with Thais, they they did a complete U turn the next day causing utter confusion,

Then we have had the red shirts & yelow shirts with their two bahts worth. yet more tanks on the streets
Bombs in Bangkok over the New years,
Cancelled sean summit which was broadacast worldwide,
Closing the main airport & stranding passengers. Also over the past 18 months the Baht has gone from 70 to 52/53 thats a 25% rise for tourists, at the same time the high cost of fuel, has caused the prices for everything including bowls of rice to go up. All this means that Thailand is no longer a cheap place to live or visit compared to other Asian destinations

Others of highlighted the visa requirements, and now the scammers are more brazen
Instead of the shop / bar owners critsing the visitors for not coming or been stingy, maybe they should look at the reasons why & blame people closer to home.

[QUOTE=PinkPearl]What's been happening in LOS {Land Of Scams} lately: [/QUOTE]Good luck I am not alone in thinking that something wrong in land of smile.

Costs rise for tourist to go there. And yes you still see thais in new cars new motorbike. Even upcountry new cars new motorbike. LooKing carefully.

Look like they have still good buying power. But from where the moneys comes as average salary up country is only around 8000 to 12000 Baht. A new motorbike is easy 50.000 baht and a new car over 600.000 baht. Damm how they can buy? Lately we told to a ISG member teacher upcountry that may be 30.000 salary is not enouth. So how then you buy with wage 8 to 12.

Lately my daughter thai called me. Papa technic scool now very expensive. Food gazoline for motorbike and fees Baht 6000 per month.

How then thais do with 8000 baht salary for a all family. Oh yes may be all of them have a sponsor farang. Sometime I believe this. Each family upcountry have one or two girl in Pattaya or Bangkok prostitution. Or looking for sponsors.

I am leaving near nakon sawan. Have count once two hundred family having girls in Pattaya. Checking around from where the money of thai owning new nice house in my area comes from. With no exeptions all of them have someone working in Pattaya phuket or Bangkok. Or have farang.

I just write down what I am thingking right now. Because tomorow my daughter need a note book 20.000 TO 30.000 as a farang I pay cash. Do thai pay cash? Don't think so. But friend of daughter have new note book and no farang in family. THEY ARE SIMPLY RICE FARMER. End of the story for today.

In looking online for an October 23 flight to Bkk with a return Nov. 8, it appears I can get an EVA flight for $738 via Orbitz vs. $783 through the EVA web site.

Generally, it seems the web site is cheaper. Any reason I should book the higher cost through the EVA web site instead of booking through the Orbitz site?

Thanks,

Guys

If you collect Eva air miles check what each price offers on the air miles.

If not then just go for the cheapest.

I will be going to LOS for 2 weeks in late sept, home early oct.. 3 days in BKK, 8 days in PTY and then back up to BKK again...

I know the rain and crappy weather that might happen.. But I wonder how everything is moving at that time? Do the "establishments" close down as the girls go home during off season or is it normal action as always?

And how is it with this effing swineflu?? Read in the news that people should not go to places where people are.. like to dinner, cinemas, clubs...
Is it noticable ?

PTY is pretty quiet as far as the tourist crowd is concern, but I was there last week and the girls are still there. As for Bkk, this is probably a really good time because I went to Nana a few days ago and there were many stunners there even though it was after 10pm when I got there. This can only mean that the recession is taking it's toll.

I see mostly Arabic and Indian (from India) tourist here now. Also the petty crimes is on the rises because of the slow down in business, so becareful when you are moving about.
