Thailand And Laos Journey: 2. Booking the Tickets Part 2

Thailand and Laos (and Myanmar if I can manage it)

Hello, Sawatdee kaa and Sabai dee,

My next trip will be Thailand and Laos, and this is all about the before, the trip and the after - similar to my Malaysia/Cambodia blog. I am putting together from start to finish - tickets, do's and don'ts, tours, where to stay, places to see, things to do, as well as useful extras like transport, good places to eat, what to wear, climate, tourist traps, tricks and tips and whatever else I can think of that will be useful.

If you have any tips or advice, please, feel free to leave a comment and add your bit - whatever you think may be helpful or interesting.
Cheers.

2. Booking the Tickets Part 2

After the initial booking and realising I needed to change my flight on the 13th February, I worked out it'd be better for me to fly to Bangkok the same day I arrived in Kuala Lumpur and set out to find a flight - the cheap ones were gone so I had to settle for paying a bit more than I had planned. Anyway, the flights I have now work better and give me the timeline I need.

Flights
Tuesday 8th February Depart Melbourne just before half past one in the morning and arrive Kuala Lumpur at 6.40am depart KL 10.40am arrive Bangkok 11.40am. This give me fours hours to have a wander around the airport, re-check my luggage for the Bangkok flight and stretch my legs.

The return flights depart Bangkok 1 March 15.10pm, arrive Kuala LUmpur 18.20pm. Depart KL 22.00 then arrive Melbourne 2 March 9.30am.

By arriving/departing KL the same day(s) this avoids having to pay for overnight accommodation and losing a day.
