Cheaper to buy the whole deal online and less dicking around at airports. Try this https://www.google.com/flights?gl=in#fl ... .USD.38673

Richard am getting the summer/winter season mixed up, they go when the weather is ok,ie october ish, anyway its only a short visa trip. They go to thailand for the same reason. One bloke i know just goes to bombay to fly to thailand, but he is not worried about costs. I forgot about the chennia method i think that is the cheapest way ie train to chennai then return to thailand.
I posted because i thought there may be a direct flight to cambodia, obviously not

Don't know about dicking around at bangkok airport but i have always found it quick easy and cheaper buying a ticket at bombay domestic airport to goa when i arrive rather than online, even the place i get my london/bombay ticket charges more than i pay at the airport.

You could do is with Etihad multi flight. London to Bombay then Delhi to Abu Dhabi to Bangkok.
You would have to gp on their website to put in your dates for price.
It maybe better and cheaper to fly return with them London - Bombay.
Then on another date of your convenience, Return flight London to Bangkok around 15 hours.
Depends also how long you have for your holiday. Let's say that part of the trip two months! See how long you can get a Thai tourists visa in London. Then you have no problems with immigration. A few years ago I think I may have been getting 2 months visas. If possible then you can travel overland at your leisure.
I have used Etihad for many years. They do special deals on some flights. Like London to Bangkok. Also if you do this option, sign up on the site with them has a member. With the flight I had home at the beginning of the year, Bangkok to Manchester return. Air miles have given me with their special offer most Phnom Penh city centre offer of 4/5 star hotels for 5 to 6 nights.

I have been visiting india since the first time overland in the early 70s. didn;t go back through the 80s and 90s but I have been going every winter to goa for the last 12 years or so. I doubt that a short visit on holiday would be a good example of the place, i agree many other parts of india are what i call "real india" but goa has its own charms and once you get to meet a few locals, a few expats and get the feel for the place then it opens up. Am not sure i want to spend 6 months every year in the boondocks of india
As for foreign dross ? all the drug addicts, pedos, piss heads and various other lunatics? they all go to cambodia, is that where you are? talk about pots and kettles. One mans meat is another mans poison.
Worse place in the whole country? try Bihar

Andy, i can,t be fucked doing a multi leg trip. I am going to goa for the winter and will get a ticket from my usual agency, london/bombay return. I just thought i may pop over for a couple of weeks to have a look.
