dear Narelle - I wrote a lengthy reply but I don’t know what happened to it - YES - all my apprehensions evaporated at Brisbane I/ sport - got to SUVARNABHUMI ( Thailand ) no more dramas & arrived on time

@Narelle ********

dear narelle - I wish to thank all those lovely people who offered suggestions & advice re my trip from Brisbane to SUVARNABHUMI in Thailand . Having very little info on the two pages of my flight ticket - ide never before been via tan son nhat a/ port in Vietnam - at Brisbane I waited patiently for the good / bad news - the lovely operator - looking at my deficient paperwork & her screen - gave me the fantastic news - YES, we can book your baggage through T S N to SUVARNABHUMI - it was like winning lotto - thanked the operator ( would love to have kissed her ) ide recommend this transit route to anyone, T S N a/ port is easy to negotiate yourself around & is well sign posted - SUVARNABHUMI is another story yet again

@Lynnette ******

I’ve just checked - the flight tickets both have the same ticket number - I think a little more homework may be needed when I check in at Brisbane a/port - Australia

@Lynnette ******

a very good friend booked my tickets with vietjet a/ lines, they are two separate tickets, consecutive with the same airline, yes I arrive about 5 am & depart for SUVARNABHUMI at 8:35 am - I still remain apprehensive

I spent about 5 days in K L ( China town ) earlier this year & loved it & I hope to visit again before Xmas - yes I agree with you - it’s a much under rated city

Their must be literally thousands of blokes in their 60s & older, like me, who don’t own or know how to operate a computer - who will now be forced to find some other visa service & pay for it - I was so stressed trying to fathom how I was going to get around this “ new invention” when for the past 15 odd years I’ve delt with the appropriate consule or embassy - & never faced any problems - the ownis is now on the individual

The good news arrived last night - Aussies are amoungst the 90 odd countries that qualify for a “60 day” free entry

@Joe *****

- that’s not a problem with me - I’ve got receipts etc

@Wayne *******

thanks mate - I took all my documents to a “computer literate” friend ( x teacher etc ) - she couldn’t “paste” the documents ( or transfer them ? ) onto her computer - after 3 hours - told her - just forget it, ile scratch my head to see what other options I have

@Brandon ***********

thanks Brandon for your advise - but when your 84 y old & you talk about “uploading documents” - that’s ok if you are computer savvy - but what if you don’t own or know how to operate a computer - that’s my handycap
