Yeah, it's super high-end, but the prices are scary😎

Thanks so much, Thierry! I’ll check that out more closely.

ขอบคุณครับ😎

Thanks for this detailed review! What’s the price range like? If you had to pick one place, which would it be?

Thanks

Hi there,

I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence. Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?

Thanks for your help

Yeah, a big detour if we go around the south: I think we could easily add 2 hours to the original duration. Thanks Songsam for your cooperation (you really got what I meant ;))

Thanks for your reply,

Sure enough, checking the routes, the flights do go through Egypt before reaching Oman via Saudi Arabia. The only downside is that we end up right in the path of potential Houthi fire toward Israel 😐.

Hello, Hi there,

I have a flight scheduled for next week with a layover in Muscat (Oman Air). Given the current situation in the region, can I request a refund for my ticket based on the risks involved?

Thanks for your helpful comments! :)

Okay, I'll check that out, thanks. Just so you know, I have a 5-hour layover on the way there and a 2-hour-50-minute layover on the way back with Air India. I've already tried Air India before, but it was a while ago (even back then, the security check-in was already a bit long). Like I mentioned earlier, the experience with this airline wasn't the worst (but not the most pleasant either 😎)

Okay, I finally found 2 interesting tickets: Air India or Royal Jordanian, around 650 € with decent layovers (which one should I choose??)

Ah, okay, that explains it. For me, it's 1 month😎

Nice one! Great deal. How many weeks? I know that often affects the price.

True, it’s still a good deal for Emirates. Though, worth checking the layover durations?

Yeah, that's what I was saying in the title... plus, nothing exciting about the duration (less than a month). Yesterday, I checked for the period I'm interested in, and the best price from a Gulf airline was with Gulf Air: 868 € with a reasonable layover. 😎

Yeah, sure (not for a big family 😏)

😎 Can you believe I got the same thing: Qatar Airways... but when I ran the simulation for a Paris/BKK flight, it turned into 1100 € (great promo, right?🤪). You know, these airlines do this kind of little marketing stunt all year with a really tempting headline, but in the end, the prices are way higher than what they used to charge us.

I think I'll give Nakhon or Nong Khai a try. Thanks a lot, friends, for your help! 🙂

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions (it’s clear there are some real experts here😉)! Just to clarify my request a bit: My question is, which is the most interesting CITY (I’m a hardcore city-dweller—countryside or islands bore me after 48 hours max😏) in Isan (within city limits)? I’m not talking about the surrounding areas (though that could be a bonus), but a pleasant, walkable city where you can stay a few days, with some things to do in the evening (not a sleepy town). Basically, the Chiang Mai of Isan, if you will😎

Thanks, Songsam—I’ll take a closer look at these cities. At first glance, Roi Et caught my eye (I’m more of a city person than a countryside one).

😉

Hi there,

I’m about to take a trip around the region in March. According to the "experts," which cities are really worth the detour? My key criteria: a slightly lively downtown + walkable. I’ve already been to the region a few years ago, but my memories are pretty mixed (Ubon Ratchathani, Udon Thani, Khon Kaen).

Thanks😎
