Get down there!

Apparently the first cold spell of the season for the North is due.... high season cometh.

About Schmidt

Titanic

Similar thing happened under the Tyne, and that is why they have 2 tunnels.

I hear you hang around in Jomtiem, you could blockade the place and warn prospective customers.

Back to the Future

You don't really get that selection on the websites these days. The price for a fully flexible ticket is substantially more. I was actually looking at the options only recently..

It's opposite a market isn't it? I went to a special celebration dinner there and we used the room at the back, we had waiters!

So idiotic to do this at 11.30pm. Perhaps some rules meant to apply to non-family arrangements were applied to you. The reviews on Tripadvisor are mostly good, although there are some complaints about the grumpy wife's attitude. Perhaps the OP should add a review there too. Being effectively kicked out of your room at 11.30pm is not good guesthouse hospitality.

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest

Chinatown.

A pity the safety issues of real cigarettes were not considered earlier. Perhaps they warrant a ban!

Otherwise the TV would need to be protected with a metal cage perhaps.

On the Emirates website for example you see the options(Fare Class) available and if you hover over get a summary of the T/Cs and usually it lists the charges for changes.

Barfly

I have changed the date of my return flight quite a few times in Biz class, usually with tickets bought directly from the airlines with Middle East carriers. There is a hefty charge involved which is normally made clear at the time of booking, and depends on the class of the ticket. It can be 5000 baht, or a few hundred pounds. They also warn that there must be the same class of seat available on the flight you want to change to, else you could also be hit with an upgrade charge on top. (If the plane is pretty full you can be sure there will be no seats at the cheaper end available) It is swings and roundabouts whether paying higher class more flexible fare with say free/cheaper rescheduling will work out better, as they are substantially more expensive initially. I don't like the option of introducing an intermediary agent unless it is a shop with good personal realtions you have used for a while. I would certinly not recommend Expedia, they are dishonest and difficult to deal with, and the carrier insists you deal with them.

Blind Date

Heavy rain I saw was around 8-10pm.

2005 to 2022 would be a long time, I guess you have had renewals between those years! Seventeen! Mine (current) says was issued in 2007 (but that was actually the old style previous one) and expires 2018. So that total validity is 5+5 years PLUS rounding it up to my next birthday. My previous licence (old style) was a 5 year one, but was again rounded up to my next birthday.....making it look like 6 years. I recall I renewed early as the new credit card style ones had been out a while and the dopey farang toy police kept arguing over my old style Thai licence insisting it was not a valid Thai licence.

Some bloody heavy rain on Tuesday night North of town, bit scary on the motorway as I drove out to the sirport. Did it cause any problems.
