Another point about your buying your ticket and paying the fine, is your putting an end of hiding and worrying. Another thing is you buy the ticket you want and the price you can afford, If someone else is buying your ticket, at DC, I dont think they are going to sit all day and try to get the best for you, and maybe charge you a Service Charge, on top of it. You got two choices, dont take the stupid choice!

Good advice. Another fact is not every airline will fly deportees so once you're in IDC you'll have to accept what their little travel agency dishes up. This happens to be my subject of some small expertise after spending 8 nights in IDC recently. You want to make sure you have your money available as well because you will be sitting in a hell hole with 100 other inmates 24hrs a day until you can sort it out. Incredibly every room has guys in charge that are actually inmates themselves. The room/cell that I was in the boss was an Iranian and actually had a phone in there which I was able to use by paying him 1000 baht a call. Don't expect any rush service to get anything else sorted but the food is wonderful especially if you like a bit of white rice and some chicken carcass (no flesh) in hot water. Slapped onto a tin tray that you have to wash off in the toilet before lining back up and placing it on the pile at the cell window. Has anyone else had this wonderful experience?

That's a good point - you never know if you need it or not over the 3 week wait period. Probably better to have it than not, but I don't enjoy 5 hours on the bus (including BTS, taxis etc), so I do it the lazy way.

I wonder if they will post it to you if you say you have lost your passport?

Then he could have used his old one to fly to Singapore in the interim. Hard to believe I'm thinking of sneaky ways to rort the system after what I've just been through.
