Thailand raises retirement age to 65 for all sectors

[ChrisKC]

My wife and I are planning a trip to Krabi next week.

 

Last night I looked up AirFares with Air Asia for a RETURN fare from Chiang Mai to Krabi. for two passengers

 

The fare out from Chiang Mai was showing at B13,000 and the homeward fare at B4,900. Nearly B18000 I thought, too much and somehow a little lop-sided!

 

I remember from other experiences with AirAsia within Thailand that it is sometimes better to book two singles; one outward and one single back

 

When I went to the site this morning the single fare was showing B10,000 each way.

 

So I consulted with my wife and we agreed we would try to book one single from the Thai page and and from the English page at the same time.

 

I was able to find a fare with VietJet, CM to Krabi including a stop that wasn't too bad to bear for B5,400 for the two of us and she was able to find an Air Asia

fare for B4,500 non-stop  back to CM for five days later. Total return fares for two just on B10,000

 

Outcome is that we are booked and confirmed.

 

From Krabi probably to Koh Lanta - not booked there yet!

 

Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside!

I forgot to mention that the VietJet fare I found was on the AirAsia page!!
