Connection time at Don Mueang Airport
Posted by mmoody on 15/1/2014 at 11:38We are flying from Siem Reap to Bangkok, arriving at 1:10pm on AirAsia. Ideally we would like to connect to another flight heading down towards koh Samui that same day. There is a flight leaving Don Mueang at 2:30pm. Initially I thought this would be tight, but doable, now I am wondering about clearing customs and still having enough time to catch that flight? Would it help that they are both Air Asia flights? Although not booked together, could my baggage be checked through? Anyone have an ...

I've only seen 220-240v here in Thailand so far. The past two places I've been (khao sok and koh tao) show 250v and 260v faceplates on the outlets though. Can anyone shed some light onto this? I was under the assumption that the outlets can only output as much power as the generator provides them, and something tells me all of koh tao isn't running on 260v. ...

Hi All, As I have previously posted we are doing some of SE Asia for our honeymoon in April / May. So far we have 4 nights Hong Kong 2/3 night BKK 3/4 nights ??? 7/8 nights Krabi areas (exact beaches/islands tbc) 2 nights BKK As you can see we have a 3/4 night gap that we are overwhelmed with what to fill it with - we both want to visit so many places (Cambodia, Golden Triangle, Myanmar etc).
