  • HOW COULD THIS BE??

    Yesterday I went to Matta fair to look for cheap air tickets to either Bangkok or Koh Samui, well, seems that Malaysia is really not inot travel alone, so I ended up didn't manage to get any ground tour service, but then I made my decision to visit Koh Samui instead of Bangkok, more relaxing I believe.

    I went to the Firefly ticket counter, they told me the Matta Fair price is RM441, the price to depart is RM5, price to come back RM99, that's the best rate. I went to office to check online, online booking is RM433, I really wonder where there is a difference... Maybe for the commision to the staff?? But today when I check on my email, the depart time seems to be having some issue as below

    Date:       Flight No:   Departure:                 Arrival:                   Stop:
    Sun 27 Jul  FY3602       Bayan Lepas (PEN)  2:00 PM Koh Samui   (USM)  2:20 PM  ( 0)

    Wed 30 Jul  FY3603       Koh Samui   (USM)  2:40 PM Bayan Lepas (PEN)  5:00 PM  ( 0)

    How could we take only 20 minutes to reach Koh Samui from Penang?? So I went online to check the time again, well the time is still incorrect, but what makes my eye ball drops is that now there are offering price to depart is RM5, price to come back RM5, same day same time!! This is totally rediculious, how could this happen?? It is so not fair!! Not fair for people purchase from the fair as well!! 1 day difference only!! Now in total is RM339 only... RM100 of differences!! My godness, I'll definetely call them tomorrow no matter what... Is like cheating!! If you still have the cheap fair why don't you offer during the fair?? Now only you offer a better rate, I just couldn't believe my eyes... Spoil my good mood, RM100 I can choose to stay at a better hotel, crazy, I have my own budget ok??

    Well let me call them tomorrow and see how... Gosh...

    Anyway, yesterday and today I spend my weekend looking for nice hotel, and in my excel sheet I have 80 hotels to consider, my god... All below RM150 per night, any kind of hotels that you can think of... And is really beautiful... These and my 80 finalist of the thousand plus hotels that I've been searching for... And now I'm searching online reviews to make my final decision or make it into maybe 20 finalist, haha... Is so much fun!! I really enjoy it!! If you look into my excel sheet you will be amazed, coz I feel amazed for what I did as well... I hope I can settle it soon as now is high season in Koh Samui, have to act fast before the goodies no more stock...

    My 80 finalist... haha... I'm really insane... and witth all the remarks, price, location that I stated in my excel sheet...

    I'm now having great confidence to travel alone after doing more and more online research, many females from all around the world did the same thing and they say the same thing, a bit of common sense and general awareness is all you need to ensure you safety, and Thais are always friendly. Of course I'll not to be over confident as well.

    If you have any friends visited Koh Samui before do let me know!! Thanks a zillion!!

    Koh Samui, I'm coming!!

    It's no cheating or incorrect time.. It's local time, Thailand time is one hour later than malaysia time.. Meas, when the time you reach Koh Samui, it's 3.20 malaysia time loo.. They do indicate that either in the brochure or in their website. Mayb u dint notice....

    Besides, they do teach me how they quote for the price.. Everyday they wil adjust the price, just like what MAS and AirAsia do. For the first 2 seats, sometime it's zero fare, sometimes it's RM5, if these first two seats has been taken, then the first 10 seats may be RM99.99... It depends on your luck, that's y we need to check daily for the price lor.. Got me ah?

    Hpy Journey...
