Valentine Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) You might have better luck going direct to the airline e.g. Thai's Royal Orchid Plus has lots of package holidays & they do fly to Johannesburg. Try at their office in Phuket Town. Also Singapore Airlines through the Silk Air office. Edited October 13, 2011 by Valentine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercallen Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 I took Valentines advice and went to Thai Airways in Phuket town They have quite a few international tour packages but you cannot book directly through them you have to use one of there recommended travel agents which are listed on there web site One is Sweetland travel and tours, its easy to find near the pizza place in Bangla Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfbum Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I've been using South Services in Phuket Town for years. They're very good. I speak to Khun Goong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercallen Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 After checking different travel agents i have found that local travel agents only do travel packages in Asia and international flights A couple said they could do packages but after waiting 3 weeks for a answer i arranged a package through jetset i Australia, everything sorted out in 4 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katasyd Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Why not use agoda.com? Cheaper by half in some cases and have unbeatable prices. Online has the best deal. Fullstop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullstop Its easy to book your own fares on the Internet, We are going to Africa where i have never been before Capetown Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, Kruger National Park Accommodation, meals, tours etc Including 9 different connecting flights thats why i used a travel agent who knows what they are doing The agent Karen at Jetset Applecross in Perth as done the tour herself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just post a question and answer it yourself..................??? I originally asked about travel agents who could arrange a package deal in Phuket All the recommended agents could not do it So i had to go elsewhere to arrange what i wanted Yes i did answer the question myself and let other people know what to do. I would have been happy to keep the business local unfortunately it was not possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyoldman Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Understood PC, it does sound like an extensive trip. There is a pretty modern travel agency in the Fisherman's Way Business Center (not the new one on Viset but the center on Chaofa) and they have posters up advertising Europe tours, Africa also. I'm pretty sure they would be able to handle a basic package, but I agree what you describe for Africa, probably best handled the way you did. Have a good trip and report for us how it went.
