I regret booking with them but the price was good. I live in Chiang Mai and being retired I don't have a credit card so I booked using a friends,well he did it actually, and we of course re embursed him.Now I have been told,by previous users of this airline, that you must present the credit card at check in time. The saving was almost 50% of other airlines but when you cant actually talk to a real person, it drives me nuts.They quote at least 10 days to reply to an email,we are now in day 12,,and the Thai office is uncontactable ,what a joke....on us.

Mate, you've read my post above ... so you know where I'm at.

If your concern is the credit card ... RELAX!

That mostly refers to bookings with THAI Airlines.

In the maybe 20 times I've flown with either AirAsia or Scoot ... I've never been asked for the Credit Card.

Don't worry, everything will be fine from that aspect.

Hope you are right

I agree - I've had six or seven check-ins with Scoot, never been asked to show my credit card. Although the booking and credit card were in the same name...

Sounds like Scoot will be offloading their ex-SIA 777s onto NokScoot once their own new 787s come along. They fit around 400 passengers into those 777-200s, a bit squeezy.

I've flown Scoot a few times. They're OK but have diabolical connections thru Singapore, requiring an overnight stay in one direction. Flying direct will make it bearable, if they come down this way. The other new LCC - Thai AirAsia X - have already said they intend to fly to at least one Oz destination at startup, so that's a start.

Hey hey, more Aussie bogans hitting BKK can only be a good thing right?

Land Office for the purchase of land 600,000 THB.

Employees:

"In my case this field has a value of 1,100,000THB so is the reference value to pay the fee to be 80,000 THB. But if you give me 15000 THB I accept your price and you will pay only 20,000."

Ha ha, similar to my own "money saving" experience way back in 1993. Me and bunch of colleagues were relocated from Malaysia to BKK, and shipped our personal effects together in one container. Thai Customs gave us a choice - pay B60,000 import duties on the electricals, or B30,000 tea money. The Canadian company we worked for even reimbursed us the 30,000.

All of this was handled by the Thai admin assistant / whatever, so she may well have pocketed a portion of the 30,000 for all I know.

Looks like the Reds have found a home here. Bring back their cherished Mr. T., no doubt.

Yes, doesn't it make a refreshing change from the transplanted Republicans / Tories and their Murdoch-esque rants.
