  1. My flight was 19,825 baht return which is about $630 so you got a good deal. Not that great a flight though, no drinkies on the BKK hops!
  2. I would be tempted just to bring the cash! Pretty sure HSBC will transfer Pounds, so their rate shown there is irrelevant . Maybe it pops up there automatically when the destination is Thailand.
  3. I am presuming you are in the Pattaya Area? I would start at Homepro and Boonthavorn on Sukhumvit.
  4. Whew, a hot one yesterday.

  5. I don't know how the system works in the USA but in the UK there are a lot of rental defectors. If you struggle to get a non-paying tenant out for several months that hits your top line hard. Agents are used who know how to deal with it... usually high court evictions but there is no money to be recovered. The agents obviously trim the cream off the income.
  6. Copied and shared......
  7. I use an egg timer.... set too soft!
  8. Songkran from the sky, it is pouring down.

  9. Appears to be mind-blowing!
  10. Blue skies and sunny after a surprise cool day or two!

  11. Well not over Songkran for me but beyond that I would expect to see the same guys walking back and forth trying to make their mind up. I would be the one on the bike with my visor down!
  12. I darn't go to one of those motor exhibitions. These 'pretties' could persuade me to buy anything. I would end up with a Triumph motorcycle. Nearly ended up with a new Ford Ranger after shopping in BigC-X only the other day!
  13. Rocknrolla
  14. I have quite a list of people on ignore on Thai Visa, one of them is a Mod. But a lot of people there seem to be looking for an argument.... and a lot of Pattaya negativity. Can be a fair source of information , some of the Visa information is very good. Far too much advertising, makes the site slow and jumpy for me.
  15. Thai have always been 'uncompetitive' in Biz Class.... I recently was looking for a flight to Bali and their direct Biz was twice the price of Malaysian via KLIA I hope this comes about, more competition and alternatives is good..
  16. I am guessing this is a complaint wrt 'Thaivisa'.... would you like me to correct the title?
  17. Unseasonal cooler and rainy days.

  18. Never booked him there, always email.
  19. Well the OP was actually asking about a taxi into Bangkok.
  20. I just read the service is struggling during rush hour times due to quite a few trains being out of order awaiting parts.
  21. Out of interest I watched a bit of this flight heading West yesterday, on one of the tracker programs. The Dreamliner and flight actually started out from Melbourne, then landed in Perth, and was there for about 90 minutes before taking off for London. So I wondered if most of the passengers originated in Melbourne, as Perth isn't really that big of a City. When it took off it appeared to follow the path of an Etihad flight from Perth to Abu Dhabi, so not flying the shortest apparent route, or rather more direct using a slightly more Westward heading. Target heading was well off actual.... that of course may be something to do with jet streams or route limitations. Interesting to have these seriously long hop flights available to people travelling so far... although I have always broken my BKK-UK journeys up about in the middle (East ). When I have taken a long hop (be it BA change in London or KLM change in Amsterdam) I have always felt I was at my patience limit and getting a bit edgy when we landed.
  22. I actually thought you two guys had gone together when I read you had both been there same night!
  23. Anybody got a tracker image of the route this flight took? Intrigued to know if it did a long stretch over the Indian Ocean.
  24. Ex minibus driver, so the 250 kph train will be doing 350 kph!
  25. Overcast again, keeps the heat down.
