Derek Dangleberries Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 - Tomorrow is Black Friday and EVA have a sale on. - TSB emailed me this morning to ask me to retry using my TSB Mastercard online. - Excellent coincidence ...If it works. So, in case it doesn't work, my question is: Does anybody book flights locally using cash or bank transfer from a local Bank? In the past I have used MTT (Music Travel Thai) an English bloke that advertised on other forums but seems to have disappeared . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveBC Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) I have used Massic travel a few times before, they have always been very good and you are able to pay in whichever way you wish. https://www.facebook.com/massictravel/ Edited November 24, 2022 by SteveBC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankholland Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I used champion tour this year. Three doors down toward the beach from maneerat soi 13/2. Normally I pay my KLM ticket via a Thai bank transfer, but that option is no more . The only way to pay is via credit card (which i do not have) or via paypal, which is not posible in Thailand. The service was very good ( i paid cash), and when i was in my room, i could see my reservation on the KLM site. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you normally communicate with them to search flights because the link to website isn't working?? The location is perfect because I have to check my PO Box tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use a shop near there (it also sold model boats with one in the window) and paid cash.It was an excellent service ...until its sister shop in Naklua did a runner with everybody's deposits so both shops were closed down. It was such a shame because I liked that shop and the Thai bloke in there was very efficient but a greedy bitch in Naklua f***d things up..!!

Whatever you choose they are able to print off your ticket there and then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be visible from 2nd road so I walked up and down trying to spot it, but after checking the map I should have walked into the enclave and taken a right. In my defense I had already walked well over an hour to just get there. My package hadn't arrived at the Post Office so I will try again.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty broad with my criteria so as to capture as many options as possible... but no matter how I changed the requirements she only offered me THAI Airways. "What about EVA or KLM or anybody else ?" says I.........."More expensive" says she!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness to your good self, it is rather tucked away around the rear of the 2nd road buildings They have been in that same location for many years since moving from North Pattaya, hopefully their service is still as excellent as it was pre-covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a very busy schedule of doing nothing today, I wandered to this location. Up soi 15 from 2nd road Turned left after about 50m, just beyond Fortune pharmacy And I couldn't find Massic Travel.... My best guess is they have sold out, and are now Vickys Travel. Shop front looks similar. There was someone inside, but I didn't go in. They have a large sin hanging over hhe soi that should be visible from soi 15 There were a couple of other Travel places down that way, but there was no sign of life in any Edited November 26, 2022 by Painter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan was to re-check my PO Box tomorrow followed by an extended walk to find MASSIC so you have saved me time. But!!! Now hear this!! I know Sunny Online from its previous location on 3rd Rd and had already mailed them yesterday and they replied this morning. They have EVA flights in May/June for 33,000 Baht .... which is 6,000+ Baht cheaper than Champion and better than EVA Website this morning. So I'm gonna lump in on them. Thanks Again.... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Dangleberries Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 That is it done and dusted...Sunnyonline proved to be the best yet again. I had only forgotten about him because of Covid!! If, only as a starting point reference for comparison, I thoroughly recommend him no matter where you are in Thailand or where you are flying to ...!! Now that he has moved location he is on the baht bus route.Just jump off just before RGP. [email protected] +66 81 9030001 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
