The info you have is about right.But it has been a funny year so far. No real extended hot season and a lot of rain in those normally dry months. Currently sunny and hot in the Pattaya area but a lot of rain North and West. Don't let the weather worry you, the rain is normally fast and furious but over with quickly.

Would that not be according to schedule, and you were at a different terminal? They often push you back early before 'ready' as it improves the statistics! My flights with Ethiad were fine leaving Manchester, I just found the Abu Dhabi transit a bit chaotic and cramped.

And there are many countries that allow a foreigner to own land outright. And others where lawyers are there to protect you. And where your kids are not thrown in wells. The original comment was that $1,200,000 was a lot of money for a foreigner to risk particularly in a country where he/she can never have title to the land, and where the corruption index is worse than India and Panama.

Here you go..

The pool is rather small and crowded at the Lek. The Hardrock seemss to have the biggest but I am unsure if OP wants to swim laps requiring a big empty pool. The second pool at the RG is not particularly big but often quiet as it is a shaded area, well sometimes it is full of theses rubber fetish types.

Yes and no pool. The land area (1228 m2, or 3/4 rai) is enough to build a condo on.

Theft insurance is often offered with a new bike by the dealer, after that it is rather expensive.

Possibly an issue with Manchester airport and not a factor of Ethiad.LHR did that to me so many times, BA flights, it was one reason why I stopped using them. Once sat there on the tarmac waiting for over 1/2 hour as they couldn't find a gate for us at LHR. I felt like I had been kidnapped. I don't particularly like the transit at Abu Dhabi, that terminal is rather grotty and crowded.

That sums it up for me too. It looks bland, but I guess MM will dress it up slowly if he doesn't get stupid comments like 'this doesn't work' oops oh yes it does....

You can do the compulsory insurance at an insurance brokers too.In fact if you take on supplementary (more comprehensive) insurance it is a good idea to get that and the compulsory from the same company. It is recommended for farangs too as the compulsory/ government insurance does not carry enough of a bond to cover farangs. The sticker for the bike (registration/tax), well you pretty much have to go out there to the vehicle registration place on Rt36 (not the land office). There are some outfits that will take care of it for you at a charge, but I get the TGF to take care of mine.

I am from the cup winning city....... I detest London Heathrow so changing there is not on my list. The choices with a single change are many. The 3 Middle East Airlines, Emirates, Qatar and Ethiad. Not much need to look further afield really. All quite good. China Airlines or KLM with changes in Amsterdam... not as good but Amsterdm is OK for transit. Lufthansa, Fin Air, Scandanavian, Swiss, Turkish, Air France and a few others. For price,try Opodo to get an idea. But for the Middle East carriers always go back and try their site as sometimes they offer the best price there. I just did a quick check on Opodo and they come up with £590 on Qatar. Their site offered the same. beware of long layovers in the ME which I think are not worth the saving on flight cost.

So this thread is about the Russian president Bush and the Moscow songkran water throwing.?

I saw one having the shit knocked out of him outside Silver Star on WS. Young lad who thought hiding the bills in his pocket would save him money. Hard to form an opinion of the Russians because the only one I have developed is that they keep to themselves. I recall another one rather arrogantly telling a Thai how he came from big country and she from little place. But he was an exception, he spoke English. They seem to soak up the free shows and behave frugally and haver been a godsend for the crappy hotels way out of town.

To Kill A King

It was quite easy.I live here and have had an account there for some years, and the guy behind the desk must be on commission as he was dead keen. He filled the forms in, copies of passport, sign, sign, sign and I had them. As I had to open a fixed term deposit to cover the credit line, and it is paid off at months end, it isn't really a credit card as such. Likely not much different from using the ATM/Debit card.
