Hi all. My partner and I will be in Thailand from Oct 10-25 and are busy trying to finalize itinerary ideas. After much consideration, we've decided to attempt the following locations: Thailand -- Bangkok (BKK), Chiang Mai (CNX), Koh Samui (USM)/Koh Tao/possibly Phuket if time; Laos -- Luang Prabang (LPQ); Cambodia -- Siem Reap/Angkor Wat (REP). To do this, given the short time of our total trip in the area, we are planning to use the Bangkok Airways/Siem Reap Airways/Lao Airways airpass. And therein lie the questions:

1. Can we purchase this pass at the Bangkok Airways office in BKK airport? If so, can we use the pass for same-day flights? We will arrive at 1425 on 10/10 and to minimize multi-entry issues with Thai visas, we are considering taking the 1800/1830 flight BKK-REP. Would this be possible.

2. I see conflicting route information on the direct flight REP-LPQ on Siem Reap Airways. On the airpass page, it shows this as a valid route, but on the normal Bangkok Air routing page, it shows it as a future route, and on the Siem Reap page, it isn't listed. Does anyone have accurate information on this route? Also, if we are forced to transit BKK to go from REP-LPQ, is it still considered one international coupon $80USD, or considered two international flights? I'd prefer answers before arriving in Bangkok, but if no one knows, I'll post what I find when I can.

3. Is CNX-USM a one-way route only? From what I can find, the flight only goes south and to go from USM-CNX one has to transit BKK. Is this true?

4. Finally, all routing questions aside, I'd appreciate any input on what people think about this itinerary? We're thinking 3 full days REP, 3 full days LPQ, 4 days CNX, about 3 days in the southern islands, and the remainder in BKK. Too ambitious?

Thanx for everyones' input in advance. Marquis790
