Hi,
I'm traveling to Thailand in March 2008. Has anyone had any experience with StarAlliance, specifically with their Thailand Airpass? (http://www.staralliance.com/en/travellers/fare_products/thailand_airpass.html) My local travel agent is clueless and I'd like to see if anyone has had any good or bad experiences.
Any info is appreciated.

Wow, the Thailand Airpass is nice. I will give it a try on my next trip. Have you contact your local Star Alliance carrier?
As you may already know, this pass is $50 cheaper than Thai Airway's Discover Thailand promotion.
I have purchased a different pass directly from Air Canada, and I find it very useful for taking short notice trips. There was the usual service charge for flight changes, and my seats were not upgradeable to business class. I did encountered a problem with their website in that it did not show the city that I wanted to travel, but this was quickly fixed after calling their technical staff.
If I were to purchase the Thailand Airpass, I would have all my travels ticketed at the time of purchase instead having coupons for later use. This would save me the trouble of having to visit a Thai Airways office because I do not think their website can let you arrange for travels using coupons.
I have flown many times on Thai Airways, and I feel they have the best service among other Star Alliance carriers. The only things I wish are wider seats and more leg room.
Anyway, please let us know your experience in purchasing the pass.
Neil
