Thursday-Monday in CNX should be perfect.
USM is mainly just for the Conrad.
Nothing lost by skipping BKK.
Ko Phi Phi looks neat.
Not gonna hit the Conrad. Say I want to do Sunday-Monday
YYZ-MUC-ZRH-BKK gets me to BKK Tuesday early morning. Where should I go from there?

2 days exploring Ko Phi Phi before going to CNX?

Haven't been to KPP personally but just Google image it.  Can pickup food from Chabad HKT.

So far for only 6 days on the ground? Can you push it a couple more days?

That way, you can spend a couple Tues-Thurs doing an island, and then Friday-Tuesday or Weds in CNX.

We've survived far more grueling things than that.
As long as you can sleep in F you'll be just fine.

Do it while she's asleep, and then she'll be, er, surprised :)

We were only in CNX from Thursday evening-Sunday afternoon and had a blast.
Ideally we would've left Monday but that's life.  Maybe we'll return with the kids one day when they're grown up.

Looks good.
Book rev Air Asia if you want more time in HKT/KPP.

Gets in late (10:15), i could do that with a stop in bkk.

Make sure your bookings are TICKETED.

Once LH wakes up on these and pulls the plug, UA won't be able to ticket even if reserved.

Mine was hung up in confirmation until I HUCAd a couple times and it ticketed while on the phone.

Don't risk it.

And I was going to say you want to be in BKK at the latest by 7:45 PM, giving you a full four hours to mess around with TG F ground experience.

Personally, I'd spend a few hours in BKK at the malls, and grab a massage, and that's coming from someone who didn't enjoy his weekend in BKK.
