The question is : do i have to get my luggage in BKK and then check in again with turkish airline in ? or Emirates can arrange this from Paris?
Do i need a special visa in BKK for transit ? i go back there 20days after for a 20 days stop.
I travel in J and have a 4hours stop in BKK.
thx for answers

EK can interline your luggage onto Turkish and onto Ho Chi Min.
You dont need a visa to transit through BKK. Get off the EK and make your way upstaires to the tranfer desks. It will make life easier for you if you have handy your TK e-tkt or boarding pass to show befor you go through security again.
Depending on which countrys passport you a traveling on you will not require a visa for your 20 day stay either as you are given a month visa when you arrive.
