Displayed prices are for multiple nights. Check the site for price per night. I see hostels starting at 200b/day and hotels from 500b/day on agoda.

  1. Ditto... and the latest series ones look great.
  2. I have just switched back to the Rich Text Editor and it does indeed work now. Doesn't seem any different though! Later Edit..... I am going back to the standard editor. I can't block-select and delete with this Rich one!
  3. Well this morning Pattaya Today is back at it's regular URL. I think MM hit it on the head. Interesting that someone parks an advert on something while it is 'under change'. I shall go and read Nightmarch...
  4. Amazing....I tried [Ctrl+F5], nothing different.. Changed my primary DNS to 202.69.137.137, nothing different. Still per the picture.... The fact that some guys do get the Newspaper confuses me unless they are getting cached info and I am getting current, and someone has parked here. My ISP is TOT...... Bloody computers......

    Nightmarch

    I have put a pic of where I am directed to in the Technical Problems forum as you can't post an attachment in here.(It also appears you cannot use the Rich Text Editor here either.....) Take a look there and see if you are being taken to the same place with Firefox/IE.
  6. Over in the Nightmarch forum I have mentioned this. Another poster presumably out of Thailand says he can get to the Newspaper no problem... When I use this link (http://www.pattayatoday.net/) I go here, which isn't Pattaya Today. I am in Thailand.

    Nightmarch

    That is odd, I am not being taken to Pattaya Today Newspaper by your link either.My link used to work and I don't think the www is the ussue. Perhaps my DNS? (DNS advantage)... although I get the same result with my default one, both Firefox and Explorer. Again end up on a page of links starting.. Sponsored listings for Pattaya Work: Methinks I am going via some Thailand filtering and redirection or goofed up proxy!?? Oops, no attachments here....I'll start a new topic in Technical Problems....
  8. There is another recent thread on China Airlines. Here it is... I think you have been talking to Gazelle Travel? As said at 1295 I think they are getting a bit expensive for the quality of the service.....
  9. Well that sounds good, a price drop! Still have to add 50 baht and tolls?
  10. I mooched around their website and this statement hit me....Your confirmation email will specify the exact cancellation due date which is the deadline you must cancel by in order to avoid any cancellation fee. Generally, the cancellation due date is 14 days prior to arrival at the hotel. It is a good reason for not paying up-front.
  11. Yes it is pretty much the cheapest beer available, on a price par with Chang. I used to have it in the house years ago but drifted towards Leo preferring the taste. It is a dryer beer and may well suit some customers. Most certainly there is a gap in the market for cheaper bottles in the GO-GOs. Babydolls will have to get some different sized condoms from that place behind BigC! Nice to meet you last night.... do you have a link or keyword I can search on regarding the post of yours you mentioned?
  12. No I cannot, as I normally use Toom or the extortion official taxis.
  13. Is this the Thai one with the picture of a Pony on the label, or the Cambo stuff of that or similar name? Place wasn't packed last night but seems to be doing fine promo or not!

    Nightmarch

    The prior URL to get to Pattaya Today (http://www.pattayatoday.net/) seems to have been appropiated by someone selling things! So I cannot get to Nightmarch ... have to buy a paper today. Anybody sees a new address, please post it!
  15. Will you pay for my flight over there and a hotel?......
  16. You are an American, good fish and chips is something you don't get. I mean you guys eat catfish and rave about it.....catfish are ugly bottom vacuumers.
  17. Yes I am having the problem again with Adblock disabled, might as well re-enable it for this site.My Pattaya Daily News seems to work OK and I have @@|http://www.pattayadailynews.com/openx/www/delivery/* as an exception. If you solve the posting problem, I would appreciate a post/PM as I have once or twice typed something out and then lost it. (Just happened here again........)
  18. I think calling the official taxis extortion is a bit OTT.That title can be handed to some of the touts who assault you as you come into the arrivals hall, tell you 2000 baht, get the cash up front then make you sit around until the vehicle arrives, then he drives you to a petrol station and may or may not swap you into his friends car! The taxicabs, at 1500 (+50 baht waiting charge I think) isn't so bad. They seem to be good vehicles, the queue is often only a few minutes wait, and it seems more comfortable than having to traipse to the car park in 37 degC. I wouldn't say it is affluence, more tiredness that makes me waste 350 baht after travelling 17 hours.
  19. I too am having problems posting. In that first time I hit Add Reply, I am taken back to the forum summary, post has not been entered. I use the back button, hit Add Reply again, and it seems to always work 2nd time. Editing a post is no problem. Didn't think to associate that with Adblock Plus. Thank YOU!
  20. I just gave that a go under Firefox and it worked fine. I did a have some issues with Pattaya Daily News and Firefox and it seemed to stem from my Adblock Plus. I disabled some filters and things improved.
  21. China Eastern Airlines bought 16 at about 162 Million$ each so you might have a point. But still more expensive than the Boeing 767 list price.
  22. An Airbus A330 (300) is about 195-200 Million US$A 767 (300ER) is about 145-160 Million US$. Since price definitely goes against the Airbus, something else must be a factor in the higher sales. The subsidies you claim go where?

    Muslims

    But which one claims to be the writings directly from the mind of God???Buddhism most certainly does not. The Crusades, your poor example, were a military expedition to reclaim lands and assist Alexius. Warmongering was a factor of those times. Let us have an example. If I was to decry or denounce Islam publically, any Miuslim would have the right by his book to kill me. No trial, for me! I could not find such instructions in the Bible. And If I denounced Jesus to the very Pope himself, I have the idea he would forgive rather than set the Swiss guards on me spears a jabbing. I don't think the Christian world is now so strict regarding blasphemy.... We rarely issue 'permission to kill fatwahs' over books or cartoons. To teach your believers like this in or modern age.....well.

    Muslims

    True, from the Muslim perspective, and quite a powerful thing this is too, it is incontrovertible.But from my eyes I see the evidence of a man's input there, an ancient man. And that is also a problem, the ones who are making problems do believe they are living by the Quoran...... It permits the killing of all who oppose it. Glorifies death in it's name.....

    Muslims

    Yes and the very title of it made me think of a JFK quote..ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. The European Muslims have not made the effort to integrate, they have worn their religion on their sleeves, degraded the very country they inhabit and generally behaved like a bad guest. So I say It's Muslims are failing Europe......
