Similarly versatile... can also be battered and deep fried or made into a hash! Corned beef, HP and raw onion sandwiches helped me grow into the superman I am today!

My flight back to LOS had a change of aircraft alert, but went upwards from a crappy little airbus to the Dreamliner. Had me land in Doha earlier and they brought the onward flight forward.

People dream of the days when it was only 150 baht... 200 is more common and I have heard rumour of a bank charging 220! If you do not mind carrying a lot of cash and the risk it involves you can carry up to 10,000 Euros equivalent out of UK without declaring it. Superrich in Bangkok will give the best exchange rate for cash. Slightly less in airport vicinity (see link). As you can see 50 notes get a better rate. In Pattaya I would guess TT exchanges are the best rate and you can haggle for a slightly better one than displayed for larger transactions. Personally I would be wary of carrying too much cash,,,, those room safes are sometimes not to be trusted.

Sorry to hear that.

Oh it looked like you could book it right there on the website, never tried it further.

Well they do have other aircraft....but even using B777-300ER they have 4 versions which each have different numbers of Economy seats.

Many a Thai Pizza doesn't have much cheese in it!

Don't believe there are any nowadays. Depending on your origins you can get fee free cards from home, ie Citibank from USA or Halifax Clarity card from UK.

Not certain whether this is airside or not but looks nice and bookable. Plaza Lounge

Wow....

I was going to say Hitchcock himself as he frequently did an extra part and it was fun trying to spot him in his films.. but he was uncredited so not valid. So I will carry on with... Bernard Cribbins

My first ride to The Middle East......

Fried battered spam dripping in grease, and they say British cuisine is lacking!

Yes, just reading Pattaya tunnel being repaired before it's even open, rather ironic.

My recent flight included both BKK and ME. It originated in NZ, via Oz.

And thanks to the way the currency has gone ticket prices will go up, demand down.

Thanksgiving Day again already..... time flies.

How the West Was Won.

The USA has lifted that ban on flights from Abu Dhabi...... The A380's I have flown on have also been all economy in the basement, I actually thought that was the usual configuration-- but I see Singapore do it different with 4 classes. ...Upstairs on Emirates was First at the front, Biz, and the bar at the back of Biz.... I have come across another configuration with no First, and that has a pleb area at the front upstairs too. Qatar had a smaller upstairs Biz and packed a few in the back end. The Biz Class Bangkok to Doha was pretty full, but only about 60% from Doha to clogs and tripe land.

It does seem that economy is getting to be more 'economical'... and conversely Biz getting better. I guess since most of the money being made on a flight comes from the premium cabins that is natural. I just did a Biz hop from Bangkok to UK on A380 equipment and it far exceeds some of the flights I took during my working career. It may sound snobby but you don't even see the economy passengers, except when you get off and they are trying to push through to disembark with the premium cabins (Held at bay like braying livestock). So increasing discomfort in economy is likely to be accompanied by improving comfort at the front. I hope the prices can stay the same.
