What should I do after my Agoda hotel booking was cancelled and my Agoda cash expired?

Jim *******

I wonder if the hotel sold your room to someone booking direct, at a far higher cost, letting both Agoda and yourself down? You’d think they’d avoid upsetting Agoda though..

Will having 'Mrs' instead of 'Mr' on my Saudia Airlines ticket be an issue?

Jim *******

This happened on my wife’s boarding pass. Mrs was the last word, but they ran out of spaces for letters, so the s was omitted. It wasn’t a problem. It’s possible this is the same…

How can I exchange a large jar of Thai coins for cash before moving back to the US?

Jim *******

In UK a lot of shops charge 10% commission for this. They already save the bank charge. Paying an exchange rate on your own currency …love it.

I eventually got hold of the embassy and was told not to worry, write it in English!

Do I need to apply for a tourist visa for my Thai wife and how should I enter her name in the application?

Jim *******

Thanks for that. I’d sooner do it properly via the embassy if I can. I wonder if the problem is with the website. I can’t get their phone to ring, let alone have someone answer it. Their email seems to be disconnected too.

No change there then!
