Gents once again i come before you for advice,i am at present attempting to organise my return crusade to the promise land,only this time i am looking at going solo for a couple of reasons.
now a room in patong is not the problem (ref c & n hotel)
my problem is a flights on a budget(why waste money on expensive flights when it could be used else where i.e bar fines etc)
I thought i would be able to get a reasonable flight to BKK then on to Phuket,well it is not turning out so easy .The best deal i have managed to obtain so far goes London via Kuala Lumper and finaly on to Phuket all for £571.20
Have any you gents been able to obtain flights any cheaper or is this as good as it gets ?
I am trying to avoid package deals at local travel agents ,as they hype up the price for solo travelers and are not always clued up when i say that i would require the room to be guest friendly ,which then gets embarrsing when i try to explain to some young tart what i mean.
your thoughts gents would be appreicated.
