Package Holiday Bangkok Post

[Oink]

I bought the Bangkok Post today in the hope of finding a package holiday somewhere exotic. Waste of time.

Why are all of the adverts for holidays printed in Thai? I thought it was an English Language newspaper?

In 2015 you search for package holidays in news papers.

What year are you in, 1950?

Point me to Thai website in English which details available packages for a family holiday.

Despite you not to comprehend the irony of holidays only being advertised in Thai in an English language newspaper.

Why not try a good old fashioned Travel agents,found in every Thai city.

They even have one in Lom Sak.

Here it took me 30 seconds to find a long list of travel agencies who cater for worldwide travel departing Bangkok.

No I never missed the point,I know your just having a moan about an English language news paper with Thai advertisements.

You will be ok in a day or two.

The section is generic and is published in their Thai Language papers as well.

Thursdays used to be the big travel promotion day in the Bangkok Post; maybe not anymore. I did buy a couple of those "2 night/3day" packages to Singapore and HK a number of years ago, before the proliferation of low cost carriers made it cheaper to do it yourself. The hotels included in the advertised price were generally substandard and in outlying areas, thus by the time you upgraded to anything decent, the bargain price was out the window.

I also remember the booking process was always inconvenient. Payment in advance via ATM deposit, picking tickets up at some out of the way location and flights at undesirable times.

Not really worth it.
