Airbus and Boeing products running behind schedule
jacko replied to BigDUSA's topic in Idle Chit Chat
The comment was really about illegal subsidies. You have been very vocal on this subject in relation to Airbus here in the past. Care to comment on Boeing and them having their snouts in there too? -
Get it taken back quick...... I got my crappy one from then Carrefour!I haven't tried connecting mine to the PC, my problem was opposite, damn thing would shut itself off! I had good results at the service centre.

Reasonabley priced storage of luggage
jacko replied to Odense's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
If you return back to the same hotel from the trips I have often found the hotel more than willing to store a bag for you. -
Any bus service after 6pm from BKK airport to Pattaya?
jacko replied to Angelo02's topic in Transport in Thailand
Why?The airport is 12 km out of Bangkok and on the main Highway between Pattaya and Bangkok. It takes about 2 hours max to Pattaya at that time, you could go out for a few hours on arrival. -
Texans over-rate themselves. I have had some pretty crap steaks in Texas.Best I had ever, Kansas City Mo, but depends on the restaurant.

jacko replied to Angelo02's topic in Transport in Thailand
By taxis we don't necessarily mean public taxis at the stands in front of the airport. (Although nothing wrong with them and you can get to Pattaya for about 1500 baht). There are also cars you can book using email (Mr T and Mr Toom) are a couple mentioned here frequently. (1000 to 1200 baht) You will also be besieged by touts offering rides when you arrive. -
Retirement Visa from USA.... need input from those who have them.
jacko replied to frostfire's topic in Expat Issues
Well I think most of it has been said already.Plenty of BMs know this procedure well. I would obtain a multiple non-Imm O in the USA if he can. I think he could use future retirement as a reason behind it. Then he has 12-15 months in Thailand to get established, open a back account, get the 800k on deposit. obtain driving licence. Get married, have kids, buy a bar and house for her, car for papa, ....NO NO NO, scrub the last sentence!!! Don't be worried by the effort it takes to get your own retirement extension here, it is quite easy. Getting it in the USA (Non Imm O-A) is a little more effort requiring a police report.

I love it when these gamblers put forward one person with a big win as some form of justification! It's a bit like the lottery, go on and on about one person winning millions and keep quiet about the billions they rake in from all the other mugs. I have seen some negative effects of gambling in my time, enough to say it is sensible not to. If you sell your stock holdings you will get some cash back, try taking a losing slip back to the bookies and see if he will give you anything for it.

I had a plate of Nachos as a starter and a Rib Eye steak. You can pick 3 sides out of an option of 7 or so. The TGF had the ribs which I got a share of. It was all pretty good.

Just past Tops car/park (market) on Klang heading to the beach.It has been there a long time, I hesitate to say good but it has always had cheap prices and OK service. I lost interest as my steak was often still a bit cold on the inside and I decided to eat classy at the nearby Seasider!

Of course if you go to this link, you have broken the rules, as obviously I did, and SS did!

And 40 baht sign.

Well it can be 2.5 and 1.5 hours but you have to pay more for that in economy.For cheapest read 13+ hours in Doha one way, which is asinine and shouldn't even be offered. The price difference for a check I did for short transits was 5000 baht more...£100. I would pay it!

Sapphire Lodge - free ST BF's all March
jacko replied to farangkwaiyai's topic in Bars/Gogos/Business Owners' Forum
It was the comment on the girl's appearances that seemed unnecessary, not the questioning of the 'deal'.Do pay attention. -
Yes and I think it was exactly the same path initiated by either you or me! We decided 'voice only' didn't count...what the hell was the name of that fat woman?

I doubt Thai worry about your business specifically, and Emirates are way better anyhow.

jacko replied to farangkwaiyai's topic in Bars/Gogos/Business Owners' Forum
Darn Mick, give the guy a chance with his promotion. I am guessing that the promotion means, for the cost of a lady cocktail, and the money for the girl, I get a ST and can stay until the morning in the room for free? -

Then why have you had so many of them?
