Bangkok Air Question
I just got an email from the lady at the Bangkok Air office here in California about the prices for our Discovery Pass. We will be flying from BKK - CM, CM - SR, SR - Phuket, Krabi - BKK. The total price for this was $455 + taxes.
My question is: How much are taxes and when do you pay them? We are supposed to send in a money order but we dont' know exactly how much to make it out for! We tried calling the office back but no one is answering
Anyone have any ideas??

Follow Gpanda instructions and call the 800 number. The quote you got looks like it includes the fuel surchare and insurance. The tax propably refers to airport taxes which are 700 baht international from Thailand and 100 each for your domestic flights, totaling 900 baht or about $28. This is added to your ticket cost. The airport tax from Cambodia is $20 and will be collected at the airport.

Hi waterlily252.
We have a very similar itinerary as yours (Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai to Siem Reap, Siem Reap to Phuket and Phuket to Bangkok)for our trip in late December to middle of January. We were quoted $456/person for our Discovery Pass and this is inclusive of all taxes already. According to the sales agent in the Encino office, the breakdown is as follows:
Bangkok to CM = $60; CM to SR = $100; SR to Phuket = $100; Phuket to Bangkok = $60--the rest is taxes.
Hope you've already gotten through to them. I had to call several times and always easily got through.

Well that doesn't make me happy!
I paid $540. per person for a discovery pass: Bangkok to S.R., S.R. to Luang Prabang and then back to Bangkok.
We leave the end of January.
Wonder why it was almost $100 more?
Oh well....good for you!

bducla cost was calculated as fare 320 + fuel surcharge & insurance (27 per flight) 108 + airport tax (excluding Cambodia which is paid at airport) 28 (900 baht) totaling 456
Yours should be 3 international flights (BK/SR, SR/LP, LP/BK) at 100 each, fuel surcharge & insurance at 27 each and airport tax of 22 (700 baht) and 10 (Laos) totaling 413. Why you paid 540 is a good question.
