If it's the cheapest I would be more concerned that he was landing at DM airport and flying out of Suwanabum.

That would be a tight transfer.

i had the same deal, stopped in bangkok airport for an hour and just got drunk and talked to the other passengers, it's cheaper but looking back if someone had said they'd pay me 100'000 krw to sit on a plane for 8 hrs i'd say no thanks

and i ended up sitting next to some sex tourist guy all the way home SadSad

How did you know this? Did he share his exploits with you? Did he touch you up? Did he have any photos? Or was he just itching his balls a lot and complaining about the burn?

There is a booth selling city tours (by private car). Not sure if 4 hours would be enough though...considering they have to take you to several 'outlets' as well as some tourist sights Evil or Very Mad

Yeah that is out of the way. Why is the layover in BKK? Are you stopping anywhere else? I didn't think direct flights existed between BKK-LAX. There's usually a stop in Taipei or Tokyo.


The Thai nonstop from BKK to LAX is great! Good food and service, and lots of room, even in coach. I usually go to Korea via BKK. I chill there for a few days, adjust to the new hemisphere, and get a few good massages.

By the way, you can get a massage while waiting at the airport!

Yes but it's very expensive - like around 1500 baht for an hour. Ridiculous, especially when you pay 200 baht for the same in BKK.
