chiang mai Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Does anyone know of a reliable travel agent in Chiang Mai? I have to travel to London within the next week and I prefer not to book over the net and I'm happy to pay extra for the privilege - my previous long standing agent (Japanese) has now retired. Many thanks in advance for all useful replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haybilly Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Khun Praneet at CNX P&P Travel--on Tapae Road--is very helpful, but try to get the lady herself--her staff can make the odd mistake--but she is very good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I have always used K and K business on Thapae road south side very close to the canal. Never had a problem with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Out of interest, why do you prefer not to book over the net. Do you like paying extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Out of interest, why do you prefer not to book over the net. Do you like paying extra? Trust, age, confidence and yes, I like to pay more, wherever I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nienke Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Plus 1 for P&P n Thapae, almost on corner with Soi 4. Khun Praneet is indeed excellent both in her service towards her customers as in training her staff.Always very helpful and efficient. Has been my agent for the last 15 years. Strayed one time (not on of those mentioned), and was back at P&P in no time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiHerbs Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Khun Praneet at CNX P&P Travel--on Tapae Road--is very helpful, but try to get the lady herself--her staff can make the odd mistake--but she is very good. ditto on CNX P&P and ditto on Praneet - below is their contact info copied from an email from Praneet on a quick trip to Laos and Vietnam she arranged for me in January CNX P&P TRAVEL 243-245 Thapae road, Changklan district Maung, Chiangmai , Thailand 50100 Tel : +66 (0)53 272545 -7 (3 lines) Fax : +66 (0)53 279261 Email : [email protected] Office hours : 8.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m. (Daily) Praneet was also excellent and responsive when I changed travel plans and dates while traveling other agencies/agents mentioned here also sound very good tho Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau thai Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I've used Travel Shoppe Tha Pae Gate happily for many years. Cheaper flights than the Internet and excellent service. Interesting - I am very surprised that they can take their commission and still undercut the internet. After you have bought from them have you checked e.g Skyscanner for the exact same flight and found it to cost more?? If so, I will give them a try next time but I guess they can not beat the budget airlines like AirAsia and Tiger from their own sites?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think Expedia is way too expensive-you may like to check out skyscanner- good site that shows you a month by month view on daily barcharts, to find the cheapest,if you can be flexible on dates. Others may know better sites but I have used skyscanner for years and tried others but not found better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubes Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Skyscanner not always the best, have found alternate routes/specials that have worked out cheaper even through Sites such as expedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
