What, no comment from Little Chief about inserting an extra digit in his little Thai number yet.....

This is a pretty well covered route. The obvious being Cathay and Thai, also Singapore. Bangkok is a stop off for many European and Middle East (Gulf)carriers on the way to/from Hong Kong Dragon Air fly there... ... Try this website.... Hong Kong Flights Or this.... From BKK to HKG

I am sure you can only change the region code 5 times before the selection locks in. So switching between 2 will eat them up too. As for getting around the region lock, well I do not know of a way on my notebook, although I have heard of people reprogramming their home DVD players to be multi region.

Mr Tooms service picked me up in Pattaya...early. Smooth ride, efficient without being frightening. Arrived airport in plenty of time. Polite driver.....recommended.

British people would have no need of flying via Taiwan to BKK. As you have no need of cutlery in what you laughingly call restaurants. It is also less of a problem to have poor teeth when you have been taught to chew with your mouth closed.

I realize that 15th August is not a Saturday, but I do not think Mr Toom can be blamed. Perhaps Mr Manracer needs to buy a calendar prior to complaining!

AUH is a pretty small airport........I would feel more confident of their abilities to transfer you and your baggage than at LHR.

I got a fare of £505 from their own website..... Etihad

You lend him the money................

Buy it in Thailand. No bundle to be saved.

I think if you HAVE used Mr Toom you would be a more informed poster.

BA used to offer 0 miles for anything less than a Y class ticket (or was it the next one down from that)? It was changed later. The tickets my company supplied for a vacation airfare used to get 10% of mileage.....waste of time. Important factor when considering using the same airline exclusively.

I was paying 30k at the Nova Park.....1 br apt. Perhaps not as nice , but well equipped and a nice pool and garden. Inferior location though. 18k...or 55% more is some difference. What was wrong with the free WI-FI that you went for that rather expensive ADSL?

Yes they are nice, and a great location. But I felt a little uncomfortable when I learned that on top of what was a hefty price, I would be paying for my electricity and water...and internet on top. Also the rate for the electricity was high....I love my AC What is the total cost then...? You paying for a month?

So if people are having complaints, why are they posting in the members area...he is pulling business from the 'open to everyone' section? I would like the man to have a chance to respond.

I find your statement surprising. It was common practice in the USA to book multiple flight seats when I was there, that country had already initiated a credit-card deposit scheme for hotel rooms. Despite which, on arriving once at midnight, the room had been given to another customer. Had I not arrived, I wonder if I would have had the credit card deposit taken too!

Good....... Guess I won't be seeing you on Pattaya City News being led off in handcuffs (inside a plastic bag... ) for the murder of a Thai national then. Sounds like the type who cannot accept 'not getting his own way'......I hope it all ends here.

I go regularly and after a few visits the repetition can be a bit tiresome.....the information for 1st time visitors being repeated every meeting. Waffled on last week about how to get from Bangkok to Pattaya..... My neighbour says he will be doing a presentation on his business there soon.....on waterbeds...yeah I'll set the alarm for that one! Best was a dull presentation by a sausage shop...... But then they had a free buffet of their products.... Whatever you need to know about settling in LOS can be answered here.

Sounds to me like a good policy, with a good company. Do you expect to be paying more in January 07, due to loss of 'no claims bonus'?

Electricity costs for a private residence average out at about 3.5 baht per unit...so they could lock the ACs in the on position and give the room rent free!"

The BUPA leaflets I have here show from 41k to 78k, and they jump to 46-87k at age 61. That is for 1 million hospitalization only to 5 million baht with 50k of out-patient costs. The expats club offers a group plan, 16k, for 1.0 million baht with out-patient cover, to about 22k for 1.5 million.

And so it should be. Good service should be the norm, bad service the exception.

They may work and drive in Bangkok, but their origins are more rural. I have had a lot of problems with BKK taxi drivers being unable to find their way around Bangkok. Most hotels have web sites, or you can locate them on a map...print it out and use it.

Great examples....... Can only be funny by being crude and refering to fucking or sucking....... A good comedian surely is one who can actually say something funny rather than abusive....... 'You're a true vulgarian aren't you' John Cleese....

I just booked him to go TO the airport. All very polite and efficient in the booking process. I think you got a 'substitute'........you should have called Mr Toom and complained. Ting Tong......what is the khong fa reference?
