Yeah, my problem is that all the LCCs that fly from BKK to SIN have really low checked baggage limits, so it will end up costing me a ton. This is just really annoying that I now have to figure out how to get to SIN with my bags - after being told that I could change with no problem.

The only reason I booked to leave out of SIN was because of all the uncertainty regarding new visa rules in Thailand. I obvisouly knew that there woud be nothing available on United to get me out - there never is on short notice, but I figured with all the partners here it shouldn't be a problem to find availability on a partner.

What a horrible experience to be told such conflicting things by the same company. Anyway, thanks to all for your help
