Hey long time travellers... Sorry if this is a dumb question, but Asia is weird sometimes.

I've got a long layover coming up in bkk. It is just from my arrival until my commuter flight home to the north. In the states I know I can just go to the counter and ask for a seat on an earlier flight (these are seldom full). Does that concept exist in Thailand?

When you apply for a non imm b visa it asks for the flight - does this mean you have to fly directly from your country to Thailand? I was hoping to have a kind of half-way break for a few days in an in-between country - is there any workaround? Thanks.

Hello, if i have a layover at Bangkok's airport for less than 12 hours, would it be possible to get transit visa free entry into the city?

Hello all. Can I fly from Dallas Fort Worth, USA to Bangkok, Thailand with a layover in Nairta, Japan???

For that matter, would you you guys suggest flying Japan airlines or Cathy pacific?

Ok.. So on the advice from members of this group, I decided to book travel from BKK to BKK by way of KUL. I understand I can get off the plane, stay in the international arrival section and catch my plane back. HOWEVER, I may have goofed because I booked with two different airlines - will that make difference? Can I check-in while in the arrival check-in? Will I need a printed boarding pass?

(Robert before you turn-off commenting .. this is a visa related question because: A) my passport is full of Thai Visa and therefore I need a new one, and KUL is the fewest stamps to do a border bounce. B) I have other reasons that i don't recall right now)
