Looks like a 50% increase to me.

for 5000 miles, from 100 USD to 150 USD
for 10,000 miles from 200 USD to 300 USD
for 30,000 miles from 600 USD to 900 USD

Is there a rule stating that when you are buying miles, you have to be redeeming an award within a certain period (say within 30 days)? Since Purchasing Miles is "under" Redeeming award, I just have a feeling that might be the case.

Hm, some time ago the prices in EURO (thats what I am used to, daily....) even came down. Was quite some rumour lately in LOS=land of smiles, the homecountry of TG, that the baht was so high and the/or rather the US$ low?
IF you can, please give the complete picture, prices in THB and EUR, the money most Tg-pax are using anyway. And there may even be JPY prices too.

the € prices have now disappeared and it seems from page 4 of the newsletter that everyone outside of thailand will pay the local currency equivalent of the $ price, which is good news for those of us who live in europe.

ian.

edited: it's only relatively good news, in the sense that the increase for europeans is less than 50%!
