Tickets Booked, Getting Ready to leave Thailand

Today I booked the flight for next week for the three of us to fly to Dublin, from Bangkok via Turkey.  The flight was quite cheap compared to others, has a very short stop in Turkey, and arrives in Dublin at 10.30 in the morning.  Perfect.

I chose to pay with my Bangkok Bank debit card, only to discover that the Bangkok Bank verified by visa thing was not working.  Waited 1 hour, tried again and it was OK.

US$1850 for 3 return flights is a good deal, I chose return flights because its only slightly more expensive than single and avoids problems at the check-in desk in Thailand because I know from experience that they give Thai people a hard time if they try and travel on a one-way ticket.  Also, if it really does not work for us at least we have the option to just return to Thailand.

We have been working hard to get our house ready for our tenant who is renting the house from us while we are away, we have a lot of preparation to do and only a week to do it all before we fly.. talk about leaving it all till the last minute.
