We are in the process of finalizing our late October early November trip to Bhutan and have that portion all nailed down. We plan to spend three days in Siem Reap prior to heading back to Bangkok and on to the USA. We have a three hour layover in Bangkok. Can we check our bags to Siem Reap (Bangkok Airways)when we check in at Paro or do we have to claim them in Bangkok( thus going through Thai immigration)and go through the check in process? My first question on any forum!!

You%26#39;ll definitely have to reclaim your bags and check in again.
When we left Paro last month, the bag tags weren%26#39;t even the standard, electronic ones with final destination and interim stops - they were the old style rip-off ones with string..
If it%26#39;s any consolation, we were off the plane in BKK and through customs/immigration in less than 15 minutes. Sadly there was about a 30 minute wait for our bags to come out. I think you%26#39;re going to be cutting it very, very close.

Thanks for the information. I was afraid that was the case. They haven%26#39;t released the winter schedule yet for Druk Air but I am planning to be on the safe side and reserve the last flight out of Bangkok for Siem Reap. Not too thrilled about the 0430hrs departure to Paro after a 17 1/2 flight from JFK that gets in at 4:30 PM the previous day. We took that flight in October 2006 in Premium Economy and it wasn%26#39;t all that bad. We%26#39;re planning to stay at the Novotel and get some rest for a few hours. If you have any other thoughts or suggestions feel free to pass them on.
