Try their Biz Class! That is the last Air India flight I did and it was OK. I think I was the only guy up front and was well treated. I got an impression there was a fine scotch that needed to be finished off. Beyond that, and not wishing to pass aspersions, I wouldn't dream of using them!😀

Used them early March, booked via email no issues.

Warbies bread in there now, but check out the chest freezers near the check out tills, for frozen crumpets and steak and kidney pies!

Yes, will they check you have the QR Code when you check in, and reject you if you don't? Will they use the 3 days to really check you out, more than the old TM6 cursory look the IO used to give.

I guess this is the correct site..... https://tdac.immigration.go.th/arrival-card/#/home There might well be some fake ones popping up in a Google search.... I got one when I was trying to do the Indonesian Customs advance declaration. Filled in a load of information and then they were asking for $60, when it should have been free.

Nothing felt in Pattaya by myself. Bringing down The Waterfront might have been beneficial. I see the building in Bangkok fell vertically, pretty much into it's own footprint.... I hope that fact does not get the 9-11 conspiracy theorists going! Airports were closed in Thailand....as was BTS etc. Relatives of my Mrs all on motorcycles to get home, and minibuses. Heaven knows what the situation is in Myanmar..... I will be putting the news on shortly.

Talking of flights out of London... bit of a mess at Heathrow yesterday!

I will not be making my own but thanks..... no oven! No sign of them in the far corner past the bread.......where I found them before...... had a look in the long row of freezers too, usually can't see in them because of condensation. I enjoyed the last batch, as a lunchtime snack with cream cheese (Philly) on them.

Darn, no sigh of crumpets in the freezer Sunday.... any idea if out of stock or simply relocated?

Yes that was my recollection and experience......my thoughts are that 'Priority' should be easier, rather than the furthest away point it can possibly be. Airports in this part of the world are destined to be crowded with folks yet to learn about queueing, or how to use a bathroom.

Leaving it is at the far end again... on the check in level. On arrival I had already walked a long way and it was like Calcutta railway station.

Finding the priority passport lane is not so straightforward these days.. It had actually been some years since I arrived in BKK and I felt completely confused looking for priority..... many directions seemed to be for special people, it was crowded and near bedlam. That said, when I got to immigration lines, it was moving fairly well. I was met by Nam's taxi service and was very pleased with them.

Just done a flight myself. and pardon me for drifting off the topic of domestic flights. Could have gone far far cheaper with Air Asia, but decided against it... getting to DMG is aggravation enough early mornings. Nor did I want to mess about with seating charges and baggage. I could have managed with carry on but was not prepared to drag a case in transit... SQ and Changi do all that very well. Sadly air travel is getting worse in this part of the world, as the airports fill up with 3rd world monkeys that truly irritate, facilitated by cheap budget carriers.

Good..... although I spotted Bangkok plate cars parking near the Klang/3rd corner illegally without concern...there is a very popular restaurant on the South side.

Makes it sound very likely living here will be the death of me!

I don't know what was going on yesterday but traffic was horrendous, early morning from Soi Siam CC all the way in, and early afternoon second Rd was heavy, but surprisingly Bua Khao not so. The road works at 3rd and Klang are no fun too. I know Chinese New Year has not done yet but I didn't think that was it.

Tuesday I visited someone in Bangkok Hospital Patts, who ironically is there from complications of breathing issues. His view was out over Naklua bay towards Laem Chabang, well it would have been had it not been so smoggy. Gave me an appreciation of how bad it is of late. The room was freezing too!

Yeh, I found the Warburton's crumpets last Sunday and have a pack in my fridge now. My searching for the Yorkies pies had that compensation.

A few UK items did appear on the Big C shelves a few months back. Yorkshire Tea for one, also PG Tips (the one that the monkeys drink), Heinz Salad Cream, Batchelor's Mushy Peas and some soups and cordial drink and others items. Sadly these things don't seem to last, ie they won't be there the following month... but who knows. The Pantry in Jomtien is out of my way somewhat.

I think you will find that the E Tourist Visa is valid for 3 months, but for a single entry, stay is permitted for 60 days. A multiple entry is valid for 6 months, each entry a 60 day stay given. Don't see the point when a Visa exempt giving 60 days stay, extendable for 30 more is available. This is not to be confused with the proposed Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), for Visa Exempt travelers. As far as I know not required yet. (Sounds like a Visa to me!)

The stamp in your passport for 6th March..... something called the Permission to Stay is exactly that. A Visa is not. Probably you could leave and re-enter on the E-Visa and get another 60 days permission. A 30 day extension obtained in country, is also an option pre March 6th.

Found them.... in the tall cabinet fridges near all the frozen stuff. Damned supermarkets moving stuff about. Now a nice big Cornish pasty planned for lunch tomorrow. Just what a growing man needs.. growing old and fat that is.

Yes actually it was... and it was parked right on the edge of the no parking line so seemed odd. Strange as an anti-theft measure too though, easier to lock the doors or use a steering lock.

Don't see these too often around town... some might say not often enough.

Usually buy a few pork pies, sausage rolls, Scotch eggs and such from BigCX.. nice lunchtime snack. But last Sunday, just a few leftovers. Today nothing, usual location full of garlic bread. Had a search but not found elsewhere. Have they moved, BigC dropped them or Yorlies packed in? FBWY...?
