I think I would do that again if I was you...... See if Mr T or Mr Toom will give you a quote.

Thanks for that too Fatboyfat, the needle just swung back slightly into the red!

Thanks for that feedback, should not be any reason to discount them. (I expect they have had the smell of curry removed from the carpeting).

Topic title edited.

Seems fair, for 150 baht. Rather light on the chips and veggies.

Arduous with a family in tow I expect... surprised by the long transits though I usually have just 2 hours to/from Manchester and I just looked and it was 02.15 and 1.55. I did notice some options said ETIHAD ON JET AIRWAYS CONFIGURED AIRCRAFT... what is that about?

I had some good visits there about 10-11 years ago, pretty sure the roro was in operation although I came back on a passenger only ferry.

I am looking at Etihad for my upcoming flight and want to ask you how was the transit in Abu Dhabi? My last trip via there there was some construction work going on and it was bad. Also very frequently I seem to land in one terminal and have to fly out from the other one which entails a long walk and a zoo at security, which pays no heed to class of travel. Even Qatar no longer use the specific Premium terminal in Doha which was excellent.

Don't airlines often oversell coach suspecting a number of no-shows, particularly in the USA? I recall a Gulf Air flight from Dhaka to Bahrain and Muscat, I was sat in the front and there was a big overflow of Banglas from the back. What a bloody circus and the toilets were unusable in no time!

I took some of that stuff back once as my brother was a hand-roller. He tossed it and that says a LOT!

Qatar sent me one claiming 40% discounts but my route to Manchester was still 92k. I may end up on KLM or Finn yet and straight into the MAN Holiday Inn Express and train in the morning. Finn have a 9am start which actually is an awkward time to go from Pattaya. As I learned with a pal staying with me at the moment who will fly Omani at 9am., Too early for the buses for him. (I don't want to be driving him all the way to the airport). I was flummoxed yesterday when he said he had booked the bus from Jomtiem to the airport at 9pm as Bell left too early at 7pm, so will need a ride from me heading in the opposite direction! I said what was wrong with a taxi straight from the house, and he said 'in his experience the cheaper bus option was always best!' Some people are just cheap, setting off 12 hours before his flight to save £12 on the taxi fare!

Aramex ban electronic cigarettes too! I am wondering whether a certain 'Monopoly' had these added.

Whilst hearing reports of them not having the suitable equipment for a fire in a taller building, and considering the huge monstrosities going up (near the Nua Bus station for example) I doubt any City has. If you ride through the new Pattaya City Hospital you can see they have nearly a dozen vehicles there and at least one has an extendible ladder. I was surprised they had so many..... not saying they all work mind. The issue would be getting to the fire with the traffic!

My pal recently hired a scooter and no extra insurance was available. (Only the government obligatory 3rd party, CTPL included) I do recall many years ago a company called Mai-Pang who rented out bikes and supplied supplementary insurance and she had a few of those tourist thank you letters suggesting it had worked. I believe you can find them at Canterbury Tales if they are still in operation. Also on Facebook. One of the guys who advertises here (Pool Hustler) may come back here with a more definitive answer, I am also sure the topic has been discussed on the Forum and a search may find it.

I just had one sent to me via DHL (actually a credit card), from the UK. They had much easier to find agents/locations than FedEx. In the USA I believe that would not be an issue, simply go to each website and plug in an address, you can probably look up their prices at the same time. The DHL came pretty fast, posted Monday, arrived quite early Wednesday. Not cheap though, about £35, ($50),

Skyscanner is throwing a few options at me, seems like Etihad have some new Biz Class fare that is cheaper, but does not include the limo service. Not a big deal for me as I only ever used it at the Manchester end anyhow. They are coming in at about 87,500 baht. Even cheaper, KLM are coming in at about 80.5k. Don't like landing in UK late evening as likely I would need a hotel at the airport, then get a train in the morning.
