baggage...
Phil...as an ex Big-airways lost baggage girl, I would'nt worry unduly as 5 hrs is a long xfer time. Depending on the baggage system TG use, if you pester them at BKK they should be able to confirm exactly where your bags are .. if they have a decent tracking system that is! Best tips as usual, clearly name your bags, no old bag tags for pose value please and a strap round the outside for added security. Best of luck... bon voyage!
