Hi,

Couple questions:

1. Has anyone (Nepali citizen) flown on this route (nyc-bkk-ktm) to Nepal on Thai ? If yes, did you need to take a transit visa (since the plane arrives at Bangkok at 4:16pm and there is a overnight layover until another plane leaves for kathmandu the next day at 10:30am).
2. Also, any suggestions on the options for spending the night at the airport ?
3. Was your luggage checked-in all the way to Nepal from New York ?

I would really appreciate your response. Thanks !

Yes you need a transit visa.. otherwise no chance to get out of BKK Airport and get laid in Bangkok. Ha ha ha......

As prem dai suggested if you do not want to get out of airport you do not need transit visa..... given the tight flight schedule you have and traffic problem in bkk I do not think getting out in bkk and getting laid is great idea.. ;-)

but if you are considering hkg too then you need transit visa.. hkg doesnot allow nepalese to get off the plane unless you have transit visa..

I remember on feb when i was comming back from nepal to US, I did not have transit visa, as soon as plane landed and I came out of RNAC flight there were hkg cops in 100s checking each and every ones passport, they did grill me for 15mins before letting me go to the transit lounge.. But recently they changed the rule and said they wont let nepalese step into their land unless they have some kind of visa ....

Thanks guys ! That was helpful.

You don't need visa if would like to stay at airport or airport hotel. You can book hotel in advance.

Another option is to get visa and enjoy BKK, its night life and red light area. It is upto you dude......

when you pay in US $ to those chicks, it comes out to be cheap though.. you can have two at a time.. haha

Cheap money or cheap girls.........hahaha
