I am finishing my shift a week early this month and I have been tracking the fares to Bangkok to cheer me up from the miserable UK summer. I am surprised that the cheapest fare I found was a round trip that in fact routed me from Munich, where I finish work, back through the UK (with a night layover so I can go home) with BA. The fare of ┬г380 was 2/3 the price of the web fare from London. I don't need to go back to Munich and the direct return back to London suits me just fine.
For the travel agents out there or travel experts, for future reference, if i had not been in Munich and did not use the Munich - London portion of the trip would that invalidate the entire journey ? Why need to book a round trip from the UK when you get a much cheaper flight by starting somewhere else in Europe !! I found the flight on sky scanner and bought the ticket from gotogate.com. On an even happier note my Company would not consider it unreasonable to swing that fare back to the UK on my expenses as that is what they might have paid anyway !!
For the first time I plan to stay a few days in Bangkok (any suggestions?) before heading to Pattaya where I am hoping Sunny Boys and Eros will be the fun place it was on my last visit. Some boys I met there last time have now returned to Cambodia and I have an invitation to go and see them in Siam Reap for a few days, but that depends on whats around in Pattaya, I fall in love very easily.
