Travel Agents

I require to buy a one way ticket to Aus. I've been told that there are no travel agents in Nakhon Sawan. Does anybody know any different??? Is there any T/Agent in Pitsanulok, which is just up the road?? The reason I want to know is that by buying directly from an air line or at the air port is very expensive, I've been advised to buy form a T/Agent. I don't particulaly like buying over the internet with credit card details. Any suggestions.
Thanks

Agreed. I haven't been to a travel agent in years.

Buying over the internet is quite a lot safer than handing your credit card to a total stranger at a travel agency you have never been to - think about it!

Either way, you can get quite better deals by just checking the respective airlines' websites directly -- I usually get much lower prices from China Airlines direct, than from a travel agent.

The only exceptions when there are sometimes promotions available, but those usually apply more within Thailand than internationally. I'd suggest giving a quick check on the internet a try first.

Foking hell matey, you been living under a rock somewhere.?

Foking blind Freddy knows more than you and that foker cant see, Anyway, here's the good oil to an extremely basic question and there's no greens for asking silly questions.

Get on the internet and google up Airasia, you then buy a one way ticket from KL to Perth, Melbourne or the gold coast.

Get your arse to KL by train and your on your way back to aussie for fok all.

If you dont want to pay by credit card over the internet you will have to go to a travel agent who will then charge you double for the same thing.

Every foker pays by credit card over the internet when they book plane tickets as there secure sights and no foking drama.

Get with program mate for fok sakes.

Anyway good luck and have a nice day.

Cheers.

Thanks for your help guys, but it's true there are no T/Agents in N/Sawan, apart from the bus terminals, and yes I might have to buy over the internet Terry as much as I hate using it, that's why I haven't posted much as you can see.

I'm surprised that there's travel agents anywhere any more.

I couldn't imagine ever using one these days.

There is one a buddy of mine uses in Bangkok that is always cheaper than booking with an airline - 30 to 50% cheaper. You have to pay cash though.
