After a quick breakfast, we were ready for our 7.30 pick up. We were collected on time but it still took an hour and a quarter to get us and the 2 other couples to the airport.
When we were in the queue waiting to check in, we noticed that we were behind yet another two Aussie girls. We picked our queue well because these girls had bulging suitcases so after them, our luggage would actually look normal.
The four of us chatted about whether they'd charge us anything extra but all that paranoia was in vain - the lady hardly batted an eyelid.
We bought a coffee at the Burger King and then changed the rest of our money to Malaysian Ringgits. Now here's where the problem came in.
We asked her what the R/ Ringgit exchange rate was and she said R100 buys you 33 Ringgit. So the whole holiday we assumed that it was the same. When we got back to SA, we discovered that the exchange rate was R2,12 to the Ringgit.
What does this mean? We could have bought a lot more in Malaysia. Aarggghhh!
Oh my word but that airport was packed - I was very tempted to jump into the Singapore queue.
Our flights were late but eventually we boarded the aircraft and flew out of Thailand.
