Today I went to take out money from my ATM and found that I could not as my account balance was -$5 or something along those lines. So I came back here to my computer to verify that this was correct, since just yesterday I had over $1000 in the account. Sure enough I had a negative balance, and the cause of it was a $1120 charge by thai airways yesterday.
I had already paid for the ticket last month and have it sitting in my nightstand at home just waiting for departure. I tried calling thai airways in new york but was unable to get through, so I called their LA office. The woman on the phone took down all my information but was not able to help me since "the computers are down". She spoke this in a sweet thai accent so how could I complain. They have my number and will be returning my call when "the computers are working again". So for now I'm broke
I just wanted to whine about this. Especially since I had to jump through all the hoops to book the flight in the first place, since they could not issue an electronic ticket for the new JFK-BKK flight.
I hope the flight goes more smoothly than purchasing the ticket.
