Perhaps to their own detriment, they just went bankrupt! First of many?

Shrinking Pattaya Reservoirs
jacko replied to forcebwithu's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
It did rain, you are correct. This morning I had to quickly re-close the windows as the flying termites poured in. I have a couple of cases but need to go on rations, what a drag. -

I could shower in all the sodas, tonics and ginger ales I won't be needing! -

Had quite a shower in my area, filled up a few containers. The ground soaked it up,and later, as the sun shone, you could not really tell it had rained beyond the sun hurting your eyes. We will need a lot to get it to the reservoirs. -

And Songkran. I would have felt happier if they had come up with solutions for the future...ie next year. -
Restaurants are presently either closed or offering only take-out service. There is also of course delivery options. I would not make plans to be here in June.

Good news.

There you go then, what was it about 50 baht worth?

Strangely Expedia contacted me about a cancellation. Told me they had tried to call me (a lie... my phone shows no missed calls) and insisted I call them, which is an impossibility. No response to emails... what the heck, more to worry about these days.

Yes heavily I believe and accompanied by long power cuts. As stated, it will take more than a few heavy showers.... but I will take them. -

I keep looking at the forecasts, but even when it predicts rain, just a bit of dark clouds. -

Thai International London Bangkok Covid risk notified
jacko replied to Rawhide2's topic in Airline Discussion
I suspect Thai passengers, if you have read otherwise educate me. At that time non-Thais had to obtain a health certificate which needed a Covid test, these are not easily available, and insurance. Thais had to get a 'fit to fly' note, which I believe the Thai Embassy were issuing. -

OP has been answered and we have gone off that topic. -
Actually I always thought the 9 karat had a worse rep than the Nirun.... didn't somebody get heave-hoed off the roof a while back for challenging the Juristic committee?

Airline customer service during the current (or any) crisis.
jacko replied to Butch's topic in Airline Discussion
And to a degree Butch, people had the same failings as the carriers did! I would like to know when some of the stranded people started to make some effort. And how many people were rescheduling outward journeys, when common sense tells them that no journey should be made at all, for the foreseeable future. In my case, I think the carrier was to blame. Their software did not even allow me to cancel the booking ( I was not seeking a re-booking nor even a refund, I knew that was not available). Their website didn't give me that option and I became a no-show, when that seat may have been of use to someone. -
Kinda wonder whether a lot of drainage and sewage lines that used to come down the Beach Rd sois from soi Pattayaland 2 (13/4) to Soi 1 are still connected to something, and where do they go?

When Apple bring production of the Iphone back to the USA, I say progress has been made. -
Airline customer service during the current (or any) crisis.
jacko replied to Butch's topic in Airline Discussion
I think you are expecting a lot from these carriers in these times. Quite possible they have staffing problems themselves and likely a shit load of complaints, refund requests and stuff to deal with. All the while looking bankruptcy in the face themselves. Somebody in lock down at home with too much time on their hands sending email after email about a refund of a few hundred quid they haven't got, or to cancel and move a booking for the 12th time, seems petty, when looking at what is happening around the world. They deliberately have an MO that deters complainants to the point of exhaustion and are continuing the process. -
I have found myself counting from events where I put myself at risk.... every day is a plus if I wake up without a fever! I think my trip to immigration March 10th is no longer an issue... that would have been ironic as it was for a Re-Entry Permit I ended up not needing. I still have concerns over an Expats Club meeting and a visit to the dentists ..what a way to live life!
