I am repeating myself but still giggle when I think of the spelling error I saw on Soi Honey Inn a while back. 'Room For rent-Free Wife'

You would need more eggs or plenty HP to get the best use of all that bread.

Perhaps, since most customers were not ploughmen, they hoped nobody would notice. So in effect you received a couple of pickled onions, some chutney and a tomato?

I hate to be pedantic but buses can get into accidents too, and when it happens there can be a bit of carnage. Each to their own but dragging suitcases all over the orient loses it's appeal as you age.

Toom was reliably waiting for me yesterday despite the flight coming in late. Good car and driver. Had to hike to the car park as usual which I never enjoy.

I often think getting out of Bangkok is as difficult as getting to the airport from Pattaya! But for sure there are more taxis around. And to stay near the airport is like wasting a night of your holiday. As to the OP,I used to splurge on a taxi organised by the hotel, rather than risk a more casual or cheaper arrangement..... they fortunately never let me down.

The Hunt for Red October

Never stolen, attempts to get into the back-box though. Then again I take the keys out of the ignition and put a disc lock on it.

My TGF likes Singapore, but be prepared to spend a bit. The Singapore Flyer, Night Safari, and Senasota Park were big hits with my lady.

The Krays.

It is tempting to do the one-long-hop though. I go via the Middle east and the transits are the worst part of the flight. Walking miles, security and crowds, all done while feeling groggy and half asleep.

Care to expand that critique to Boeing's Dreamliner? I just flew on 2 A380's, very impressed.

Well my last one, I just got off it, was a very pleasant experience......on the A380.

I thought you were doing well in HUF currency! I actually ended up,paying more that the 15% because I made more than 20k.... although you can claim it back I believe.

The Ethiopian Airlines one parked at Heathrow? Also a 787 had to turn back to Manchester due to a problem. I believe the carrying of liquids restriction on aircraft will soon be modified for 787 flights, as it is recommended passengers bring their own fire extinguishers.

Well there is limited exposure there, paying with a 1000 baht note often is mistaken for a 500 one in a GGB! My TGF has received fake 100s from the local market.

It seems odd to be comparing an Emirates Biz Class to Thai (built for little people) Economy class seat.......I would expect far superior! I won't be going via London though....... particularly if it involves another change in HK! When BA change the BKK flights to T5 maybe Biz with them will be tolerable. Maybe not.......

Matter of price really, CAL were always the cheapest for Biz Class. I think I would look at Qatar that can be had for about 1700.

If you can afford Singapore Business Class, you can probably afford to go First on Emirates! But back to your point, you don't rate the A380 Emirates Biz Class......(I am thinking to use it soon)?

The Shawshank Redemption.

You have to be careful with such challenges. Whilst it may be unlikely that religion can account for the sheer numbers of Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot etc, it can do a pretty good example of brutality and blood-lust. I kind of think sawing off a living persons head is up there, as a basic example.

Try Thai food......it is pretty good. Then there are quite a few French/Italian/ etc etc places for that western fix. Of course there are Pizza places....... but I never eat it here, You can Google Pizza in Pattaya but I say live a little!
