Hi!

Is there some persons who already went to Penang by airplane from Bangkok?

If Yes, how much can cost the tickets?

If You have any travel agency to suggest in Bangkok, it will be appreciate!

Thanks!

about 8-10k Baht

If on a tight budget, the journey can be accomplished via Air Asia

A sample fare, in May, for the journey is 3600 baht(£50) for the return. Bkk - KL- Pen - KL - Bkk.

Fairly long stopover in KL may allow for a quick trip into town.

i have thought about that route too, kinda suck tho running around like that, i wish they have a flight straight to penang, they would make tons of money.

If not keen on waiting for the Air Asia flight, KL to Penang, one can take Malaysian Airlines MH 1164 and MH 1143 for 3520 baht.

Total price for this combination; 6100 baht(£87)

Air Asia

Malaysian  Airlines System

Malaysian Airlines has a direct flight to Penang from Bangkok.

Sample prices, from 6250 baht are here; Thailand travel agent

The price is good. Generally TG 8275 Y, 14735 C-class.

Sorry, MH has no direct flight to PEN, you end up in code-sharing on

TG 429 leave BKK 7:30 pm, return from PEN TG 430 9:20 am.

Problem with this daily connection, you are in the PEN-hotel around 10:00 pm, and must leave around 7:00 am. In any case need one extra night in PEN.

Malaysian Airlines

BKK -> PEN 19:30 22:15 MH9089

PEN -> BKK 08:40 09:20 MH9090

Taking note of the four digit code, it does look like a codeshare flight.

If you are on a tight budget it would be cheaper and probably more time efficient if you get the 0720 Air Asia flight to Hat Yai Arrive Hat Yai 0845 return about BT3200 and then make your way to Penang from there takes about 4 hours I think.

Hey! KLIA is a throughly modern airport. I met a Singaporean and a Korean girl there on my last stopover.

I'd much rather mooch about at my leisure, than mess about for over eight hours on minibuses and border controls.

Though, conceivably, you could save a day if you could manage to hand your application in on the same day.

Bear in mind, if it is for a visa run, it's not necessary to go to Penang at all.

You can apply in Kuala Lumpur

Full list

Hat Yai to Penang is a sh1tter of a journey , especially in a minibus with the aircon leaking on ya head :o
