THanks for the info! We are in BKK for a few weeks, so that tough nonreving is behind us (LAX-NRT-BKK)! We got on in first, but I saw several retirees and buddys left behind in both cities. THey are more like "enemy passes". It was sad! Even two years ago, NRT-BKK was PACKED!

Flyzed shows that THAI airways takes a 747 from BKK to CNX (chiang mai). That seems HUGE! It still shows a smiley face, so that's good. were they big about the dress code? We are backpacking, so I didn't bring my nicest clothes LOL...
