Instead of making offering to non existent gods, how about you bring in some professional drivers from other countries (there is no such thing in Thailand), and teach these idiots how to drive on a damn hill!

 

What a supercilious statement.

These gods will still be there when you are long gone. Only because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

200 Euros?? Tighta**se


Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect

Why? About 6% not enough? Honestly how much would mr kadilo give? 

If i remember correct 3% are the norm.

I think the confusion is the result of the nearly invisible inactive customs at hkt in the old terminal. I also was never in 24 years there checked. In the new terminal 4 checks in only some month.

The last time we travelled there was no International terminal (2013) 

and we cleared customs and immigration at don meuang airport in bangkok not phuket and the picked up our luggage at the domestic/international terminal in Phuket and just walked out of the terminal with not type of check of us or luggage

When was the last time you travelled overseas??

On hkt there was always a international and a domestic exit.

Since last year now international and domestic terminal.

In 2013 you did all at don mueang. So you where then after immigration and customs a domestic guest on your flight to hkt like a domestic guest on a bus to phuket so no immigration ans customs at hkt for you. You also had to check in again what a international guest with interlining do not have.

We talked before the whole time about international arrivals at hkt with connection in bkk.

Saw it many times in Maikhao in all the years. Great nature experience.

Last time i saw a big turtle there maybe 10-12 years ago while swimming. So beautiful amazing animals. Sigh sigh....

If you are talking about a final destination of Phuket, the luggage is transferred to your onward flight to phuket and you pick it up there

you check thru immigration in bangkok as that is your point of arrival in Thailand

 

Which terminal you exit from in Phuket is a good question, it would depend at what terminal the plane parked at i suppose, probably the domestic one, which LIk thinks is being called terminal D and i think he could be right, Bangkok to Phuket is a domestic flight and also your final destination

Question was correct and short answered by stevenl.

It doesn't matter where the plane parks it matters where is customs clearances and at hkt this is only at the international terminal.

I will bow to your superior knowledge mate, having never flown business class before

But comparing the seating in Thai business class to Air asia is a bit like

Comparing a Toyota vios to a mercedes benz or a no star hotel to a 5 star hotel or chalk to cheese

There are pictures on the internet of business class in a Thai airways business class cabin in a boeing 787 and a boeing 777-300, the planes we will be flying in,  they do not look like sardine cans to me

 

Most people on this forum have flown on air asia at some time and can make up their own mind by looking at the internet photo's 

Yup you correct. Sure it is many levels above air asias eco.

But you will see the difference between 777 and 787.

Maybe you have good luck and you will get the newest 787 with 1-2-1 seats.

I like most the a350 of TG.

BTW seatguru and yt is good for choosing the best seats.

We are flying Thai all the way there and back, they have always had the best service and planes on my trips to Perth 

You have to check in at international terminal and do immigration here also on hkt.

I think Thai have a special lounge area in Bangkok for business and first class passengers, if its anything like the business / first class seating on the 787 we will be flying on to Australia on we will not be uncomfortable or lack for anything,  its a 9 hour stop over between the flights on the way to Australia and a 1.25 hour stop over on the way back,no more cattle class for us, especially after the airasia flight to bangkok for my wifes visa, put me of cheap flights permanently, i know how a sardine feels when put in a can 

Sure you can use the thai lounges as also the other star alliance lounges. I prefer SQ or EVA.

9h so you will also have time to use the thai spa and get your 30min free massage. You can book your time slots in advance with TG.

Choose wise your seats in the 787 because it 2-2-2 in business which will get you for business also the sardine feeling. Normaly it 1-2-1 in the 787 with QR, VN,.....

Do you think it's about time these measures were used?  These are things that should have been in place 20 years ago not now.  

20 years ago there was little traffic.

Also these are no measures. It is only the usual show.

QuanRut the new nick name of Patong may gives you a feeling.

Arabs and Chinese everywhere especially in Jungcylon. Best take a dose Propofol before enter.

Reading this i will not complain more paid today here on hkt 8419 baht for new passport lol.

Sofitel is my favorite @ suk 13. Club is worth the money and the cheese room at Voila is worth a teardrop of joy.

Think he means Khao Rang Hill in Phuket Town.   Couple of good restaurants at the top, my preference is the Thai food one rather than the 'international' one.   Both with great views over southern Phuket.

Oh this he mean, thanks. I know both. Yupp i also prefer the thai food one.

Layan beach is nice

Koh Ring hill for lunch

Kaen Eang in Chalong for lunch

I'm absolutely with you about freedom beach.

Can't find in all answers till now only 1 hidden gem. Would not go there with visitors. But maybe you have something i don't know.

Where the hell is Koh Ring hill and what restaurant there? Never heard it.

Where laaaa? Terhan? ...BKK? ...KUL?

Reduce the thai queue at hkt.

Wow. Never ever had more then 3 Thais in front of me.

Where are the 11.85 grams of cocaine?  Let it snow let it snow....

Don't worry to much. Do it like we do it here on hkt.

Fry it with salt, pepper, garlic, little bit chilli and nambla. Tasty.

"System no work" because of a core refurbishment.

So the US has invaded foreign countries, taken their territory, and killed their citizens recently?  Iraq 2 was a mess, and a horrible thing.  But the US has done nothing like Russia has recently.  Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, Syria.  Luckily, most of the world is in agreement with this.

 

Interesting that you defend Iran's government.  Hmmm....

 

U must be kidding or working for the Clinton Foundation.

Don't disrespect McCain.  He doesn't deserve that.  He's a true hero.  And the US is hardly scared. LOL

Is it a sign of strenght to whine about the bad russians like a small girl?

Sorry but McCain did more bad to disrespect him then respect him. If he is more then a old war hero he would stepped down 5 years ago.
