    Worth a look, however worth a buy, that is up to you.

    What do you want, how much do you want to spend, going to have to give a bit more to work with.

    sorry pin, I thought everybody could mindread!!!!

    No, just wondering if there was anything worth buying rather than I actually need anything.
    Don't want booze or fags but I can consider anything else as loong as it's cheap!!!!

    Are you on your way back to the UK or on your way out?

    I normally get orchids for my mum each time I go through Bangkok airport, they are so much cheaper than in the UK.

    First of all they just shifted operations to the new airport, and I understand it has more shops.

    Otherwise, I think in general prices will be a bit cheaper than in the UK airports, but no way as near as cheap in Thailand as itself. Apart from the usual booze and fags, can't think of anything else that will be of value at the airport.

    If it's only a refuelling stop are you sure they're going to let you off the plane? Stopping for fuel only should only mean 1 hour max on the ground, if they let you off they'd have to start boarding again straight away!
