Buy a round-trip ticket to Bangkok with a flexible return date.
As long as you're in mainland SE Asia, you can get to Bangkok
reasonably cheaply from any major city.
You may have heard that Bangkok is a good place to buy cheap airfares.
While it is good for dirt-cheap fares to other Asian cities and is
generally the cheapest place to buy a round-the-world ticket, for a
one-way ticket to Europe you would usually pay US$ 400-500. So you'd
almost certainly do better with a flexible round trip than buying
separate one-ways. |
