I'm looking to leave Bangkok by chartering a bus later today. Anyone want to join us on a drive to Penang where we can pick up a flight to SIN or KUL?

Warning - 16 hour trip time

If we can get eight people then the Hilton will arrange a bus for a total of 36,000 Baht. About USD 130 each.

We are currently being quoted USD600 for a flight from the military airport.
Someone is making a lot of money out of stranded tourists

Will check back to FT at 1200hrs BKK time to see if there are any takers.
