Would it make more sense for you to just use the entire award ticket as it stands to HKT, then book a PG nonstop flight from HKT to USM? Not sure what your scheduling into BKK is, but I'd be pretty sure an HKT-USM flight costs quite a bit less than a BKK-USM flight.

Noted on all posts prior to this. It would be cheaper to follow your suggestion but then I would miss my ferry from Koh Samui to Koh Tao on the outbound. On the return, I would just be leaving earlier than I wish and flying miles that I cannot collect. I'm not sure that my time is worth saving $140 for 5-6 hours lost of my precious vacation time.

I sure didn't- this is the first time I will fly PG. I was originally hoping to get breakfast in the SilverKris lounge but I don't think I'll be able to enter if my next flight is on PG. Even if I could, is there a way to delay going through immigration and just stay in the int'l terminal longer before switching to the domestic terminal where there is nothing really to eat, see, buy, or do? Also, I assume that PG has a domestic lounge as well?

you have no access to any international lounges when your next flight is domestic.

OK. Fair enough. If on a short vacation visit, makes sense to change ticket and just head BKK-USM.
