Buying TG ticket at BKK ticket office vs T.Agent
I'd like to buy a simple oneway ticket to SIN but realised that I've maxed out my cc so can't use it for web purchase but have the cash with me.
Would either the BKK Ticket Office or the travel agent charge a service fee? If so, how much would it be?
Thank you..

Several years ago I'd often buy domestic flights at the TG office in Chiang Mai and they always tacked on a 40 Baht charge.
No idea if this is still in effect.

Assuming you have a Canadian cc (since you have YYZ in your profile) and also have an account with the same financial institution, you can do a transfer to your cc via online banking and the funds would be available for use right away on your cc.

Or you could always just make a payment to your cc before buying the ticket.

BTW, even with online transfers, it takes up to 24-48 hours for payments to go through. That is with the Canadian banking system. But the card I have is not from a Canadian bank.
