He will tailor according to budget. He does not recommend internet bookings. Obviously he misses out but believes you don't always get what you want through them

Parahandy and I always use Western Travel - on the opposite side of the road from the police station, towards the beach.

We usually hunt around on the Internet first, because we know who we want to fly with and get an idea of prices. Every time we go to Western Travel they've actually come out cheaper than the Internet price. We pay a small deposit, and then the full amount when we pick up the e-ticket.

It's ever so easy, and convenient, and the staff are extremely polite. :)

UPDATE

Post by lee808 »

Just to update you people on prices we found etc. Looked on all the sites people suggested and the cheapest price that was coming up at around, 54,000 THB this was direct with Thai Airways.

I actually came up with a better deal than this going straight on to the Thai version of the British Airways website, they came up with a deal of 42,500THB.

Buy anyway, its all irrelevant now because i need a holiday away from this hole so we have changed our plans, i have booked a flight to Bangkok from Heathrow on 3rd July and return for 20th with Eva Air, non-stop and the full price with all taxes etc was £645.

Well happy with that price :P

Seems expensive to me for the time of year, I fly on the 13th of June from Manchester with Emirates, booked direct through Emirates for £550.

I flew the same flight in December (peak season) for £650.

All prices have gone up by around £100 or more, i've completely shopped around, bear in mind this is direct.

And yes its low season, but thats the way the economy is at present, everything seems to be going up, and up and up !

I flew Emirates on my last visit to Thailand, 1st December last year and returned 4 months later. That was just £440 booked a couple of months in advance.

Im only over for a 20 day stay this time around so i dont mind paying an extra hundred quid to get the flight over in 1 hit.....

Hi there Y'all!!!

Iknow this is the "Cheap Flights from London to Thailand" Topic but as this is also about flying I will put it here too. To all Mods if this post doesn't fit inside this Toopic feel free to delete it anytime. No hard feelings on my side.
Next Week I will be flying back from Los Angeles, USA on a Non Stop flight to Bangkok, Thailand with Thai airwys International. This TG795 will take 17 and a half hours Non stop to Bangkok. I will give you my expirience on this 17 hour gruling flight which is so far the longest flight I ever have. please stay tunedand wait for my report.
Ohh Yeah this is probbably the last season that Thai Airways is offering this direct flight to Los Angelels. with its new Winter schedule it will no longer offer this direct flights to Los angeles but only flights via Osaka to L. A.

This is indeed a very long flight, in particular when flying economic class. I'm eager to read from you.
