35 day i think. Check out their website.

The outward trip i was quoted on yesterday was Syd-Mel-Phuket-Bkk. Leaving Sydney about 21:30hrs on a Wednesday. I think the rest of the week the flight misses out Phuket. $1,075+tax through flightcentre. I actually had this flight booked in December but the prices was only released yesterday. If i were you i would give flightcentre a call and question the price you paid back in October. Don't forget their price garentee!

Can't help you with the airlines but as far as the money is concerned i use a Cash Passport from Travelex. Is backed up by Visa so you can use it in any ATM that takes Visa. You can pick these up at the airport. Upside - you can Bpay funds from you bank account, valid for three years and they issue with two cards with diferant pin numbers, just in case you misplace one. Oh yeah, is not linked to any bank account so no worry about some wizz kid getting his hand on you money back home. Downside -you do have a small charge per withdrawal. I used this card all over Pattaya last October without any problems.

Yeah, that's the only draw back. Haven't decided if i will get a room in bkk or just push on through to Pattaya.

Thai Airways price came in at $1,075.00+tax. God bless the flight centre staff, a few phone calls and i am booked on Emerites Syd-Bkk-Syd for $777.00+tax!

Got to be honest, with both Qantas & BA, good servce seems to be based on which side of bed the cabin crew get out of. Give me a Thai/Singapore/Cathy flight anytime.

It's all about timing! I like to catch the 21:30hrs flight out of Sydney. Just a great feelling enjoying a beer/bbbj, lunchtime of my first day of leave in Pattaya. I don't feel as though i've wasted a day travelling!

I know what your saying, Ive had a flight booked with Thai for the past few months. I have been holding off payment as prices have not been realesed yet. Hopefully it will be worth it on monday. Thai seam to release standard pricing and leave any discounted fairs till all other airlines have realesed their's.

Just posted a simular thing about April fairs on Thai Airways out of OZ. Prices are on sale from Monday 14th march for April onwards.

Just got word from flightcentre. They have just recived the new pricing from Thai Airways for April onwards. They will be avalable for purchase from Monday 14th March. As both BA & Emirates realeased fairs of $819+tax syd-bkk-syd over the last few months, hopefully we should have another round of deals coming our way, fingers crossed!

I will be in Pattaya in less than a week! Iam thinking of using the Cash Passport instead of travellers cheques. Has anyone had any problems using this method? Seems to be a safe way of handling money but dependant on ATM aceptance.
