Landing BKK 21st May around 07 am on Etihad, booked domestic with Thai to Udon Thani departing 09.20, all business class because luggage over 40kgs.
Recieved mail from Thai announcing schedule change, flight to Udon will leave BKK at 07.05!
Next TG flight is at 14.00, Air Asia's 11am flight is no more, next FD is at 16.15.
I don't fancy to wander around Swampy for 7 hours
Best option is taxi to Don Meuang and fly NOK at 09.50, but with only 15kgs baggage allowance....not to neglect the hassle and stress involved with this as compared to the easy Swamy transfer, usually landing around 07am and checked-in at Thai by 07.30 and drinking coffee at the Thai domestic business mounge by 07.45.

Should I ask Thai to refund my ticket and buy a NOK air ticket or will Thai take responsibilty and offer a solution (eg free limo to DM?) withouth any financial charge to me?

Any one had such dealings?
I mailed them and awaiting response

Landing Bangkok late November with both old and new passports.
Got entry stamp in new passport, in line with extension of stay permitted day old passport.
Went to Udon immigration 28 December to renew extension based on retirement, had 800k in deposit account for 4 months (TMB bank, 1 year deposit, got 3.75% interest into savings account 7 working days after deposit -15% tax)
Got free certificate of deposit from TMB same morning, a 2012 calendar and a mug, I think I like that bank (for the time being).

The whole process took 45 minutes, extra time needed to transfer old retirement extension into new passport first.
Came the bill, showed on a calculation machine: 6300 baht, 500 for the transfer I was told.
Quick brain calculation: Extension 1900+ multiple re-entry 3800+ transfer 500 (thought was free?) = 6200.
They made a few extra photocopies +100B? = 6300.
Hmmm, think Immigration is making good money, BTW she did write some receipts but did not hand them over.

I'm not going to make a fuzz, so waied kindly and walked out.
90 days reporting is for 27 March 2012.

Funny is it not?

Just checked my Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus mileage statement and noticed a 30 may domestic flight 500 miles plus an extra 500 miles labeled Domestic Bonus miles. Anyone knows until when they give these Domestic bonus miles?

I need to book a return domestic and have the choice between Air Asia and Thai, I might choose for Thai based om FF miles...
