  1. Sometimes when I see the search results I double take back to the phrase I put in wondering how the two are tenuously linked! It should have been apparent I was not shopping nor wanting to put the string into another search engine nor want an Amazon book that is not related either! The search 'algorithm' certainly doesn't know what was in my mind as it has one of its own.
  2. Yes here is the topic he started, he also used 'American Inventors'..... Topic
  3. I usually pay substantially more on my UK flights, flying Biz Class. I have also paid somewhat more on a shorter flight to go from Swampy rather than DMG for reasons you suggest above. As to Pattaya Airport (UTP), Air Asia also fly there directly from mainland China, so there is a chance of getting behind a few hundred of them there too. Have to look what arrives about the same time as Qatar do.
  4. Didn't Martin once demonstrate how Google slanted it's search results to us.
  5. Until April 18th then the price will rise.
  6. Don't think I can do anything about it not having the picture's source. Rotate the pic on your computer, save and upload again. Edit your post, deleting both the previously uploaded source and do it again with the new one. Pics can sometimes be pedantic!
  7. Modified....

  11. Although I haven't read anything to confirm this, I am betting a few people who landed in Swampy over the weekend, (Chinese New Year) with the expected high number of arrivals, wished they had landed at UTP instead.
  12. Well as I said, I have a friend staying there so I applied the moniker 'tosser' hotel!

  14. Nirun Gand Condo and 9 Karat are coming to my mind although more Arunothai area. I have had a friend just turn up and find a place on Soi Honey for a month, will ask him.. he won't be paying much. Here you go... try Tossaporn Guest House on Soi Honey, near 2nd Rd end. My pal says he is paying 8000 incl water for a room with a fridge, TV and AC. Google Maps.
  15. I quite often come around the bend on the railway line bypass , heading north just after the railway station to be met with a truck reversing back at me trying to avoid the police roadblock under the motorway flyover.They like it there, shaded!
  16. Maybe you talk of this which has been closed. The anonymous admin of the Thai-language page – which had received more than 100,000 “likes” – initially declared he would not remove the page, as he was not doing anything improper. But faced with fines of up to 100,000 baht and jail time, the page has disappeared from Facebook.
  17. I had been paying 1200 from Swampy and I believe the other way was 1000, but I was more inclined to drive myself that direction. That was before the extended motorway tolls came in. I thought that was pretty standard although years ago I used the mafia and they were always yellow/green cabs trying to get a fare back to Bangkok and were cheap but came with arguments many times.

  19. The taxi companies may have put their prices up to and from Swampy as the motorway stretch from Chonburi to Pattaya is now also toll road. UTP isn't bad for me as I can get onto Hwy 36, then switch to 331 which pops out on Sukhumvit close to UTP. Although I am also not far from Hwy 7 either. I agree using Sukhumvit from Sattahip to Pattaya is a pretty horrible drive!
  20. Yes it looks familiar to me although I had the album!
  21. Some journey times come in at 14.30 from LHR, longest coming up was 15.30, so I guess you are booking through an agent not direct with the airline.Cheaper tickets will likely give you a longer wait. The flight Doha to UTP does not stop in Bangkok, so I can only believe some search engines are coming up with a bus option. There aren't any flights from BKK to UTP. (Although some of the minibus drivers come pretty close.)
  22. The Sixth Sense
  23. Five hours, quite a chore really. I will bring a cool box full of beer and sandwiches, perhaps some Yorkie's pork pies.
  24. There are gay places as mentioned above, and katoey shows (transvestites), take your pick.
  25. I plan my trips around 'safe' times to try and get to Manchester Airport. The M60 is a permanent disaster but rush hours are walking speed and I find it just all too frustrating. So mid-afternoon flights are my favourite (The 2pm Emirates A380). . It also means the sun is far enough over the yardarm somewhere for a beer before take-off. It also usually means a good time to arrive in Bangkok and get out of the city again avoiding a rush hour.
