Nepal to Thailand
Hi,
Does anyone know any websites where I can book flights from Kathmandu to Bangkok? Maybe some local site in English language?
I'm currently in India & tried some of the usual suspects (like Opodo & Expedia), but prices are incredibly high I thought.
Got an offer to book with Mr Eagle Eye (who's gonna ship the bike), but even he wants around $500 for my ticket to Bangkok...

I used Royal (though not very Royal any more) Air Nepal, booked using an agent in B'kok. Can't remember the exact cost.
For the bike, I dealt with Kittima at Trans Air Cargo in B'kok, worked out around $900 including crate.

I went with New World, the guy Ishowar is a top bloke to deal with.My ticket was 390US with Thai airways,who also carried my bike.Eagle Eyes never returned my emails, whereas New World couldnt have been keener or more efficient.

Went with Eagle Eye in the end. $420 for myself and about $800 for the bike. Eagle Eye has been quite responsive so far - no problems. Hope the shipping will be just as efficient as the emails.
Still in Agra, though, heading up to Kathmandu slowly now (via Varanassi).
