Err, already used!

Don't fret, these planes usually only crash the once!

New Delhi SEPTEMBER 20, 2018 India’s biggest international airline plunged into further trouble on Thursday after one of its flights was turned back following an incident involving the cabin pressure system, just hours after it emerged the company had been raided by tax officials. A Jet Airways flight from Mumbai to Jaipur had to return on Thursday morning after a loss in cabin pressure, resulting in dozens of passengers suffering bleeding from the nose or ears.The Directorate General of Civil Aviation said the crew of the Boeing 737 forgot to switch the pressure system on, while the company said it was taking the crew off active duty, pending further investigation.

Would you define yourself as a price conscious consumer? (I am more about comfort and convenience) Thx for taking the time. I just heard a positive report wrt China Southern of Y Class LHR-BKK via Guangzhou on 787... Does what it says on the can! (No idea of price but knowing the guy would expect it to be competitive)

Sorry to wax lyrical but it did take me back somewhat... to sitting on the Beach in a deck chair under an umbrella which was an integral part of my early 1980s visits to Pattaya. Mostly around the bend past The Dusit or in Jomtiem. A cold beer mid afternoon, a Pork Penang and fried rice made by an old lady with a wok and gas cylinder behind, a little nap as the sun set. Those casual encounters...... Killing time until beer o'clock.....

Same Road The Majestic Condo is on, also known as Bun Kanchana Alley The Wat Bun temple is at the top, Sukhumvit end, and The Winchester/ Jomtiem 2nd Rd junction at the other, used to be a roundabout, but I think it is a junction now. Straight on and you come to the Jomtiem Beach at the Grand Jomtiem Palace Hotel. Google Maps,

My initial opening line was something similar... 'For the Expats amongst us who do not know, Pattaya has a Beach', but I dropped it. I never use the beach, and my last previous walk on the sand was the fireworks competition last June, and it was truly a mess then,

Well the 3 years tunnel project is done, so we need something to commentate on. How about the Beach reclamation, another likely long project? For those unaware, Pattaya Beach was vanishing, sand was being lost. There has also been a lot of reports of it being littered with rubbish. The project brought sand, a particular type of sand, from afar, and recently the Northern end was reopened. The South end, from Central Festival Beach Rd South is currently being worked on, but I noticed the view from Klang now included the sea! I heard 2 reports, Mr Egg claimed it looked like Pattaya of years gone by, another said some of the new sand had already been washed away exposing bags, ie more like a single year gone by. Let us report by pictures taken on a hot Sunday afternoon, sunny but thunderclouds rolling in from the East. Looking South from Klang, low tide so plenty Beach, clear and clean. Looking North from Klang, the only rat a flying one, and a fine looking Beach. Poor guy is hungry, tourists told not to feed him, not to smoke, not to drink, not to...... Welcome to the Land of the Free. A little further North, loungers and shade, but occupying only a small width of the Beach! Looking closely, fine looking sand with no cigarette butts....good! Oh dear, a bit of rubbish arriving on the tide? Perhaps this is where it originates from, a boat unloading rubbish! Something that shouldn't be there. Back on the Promenade, or coconut bar, a work of art has been set. A closer view of only 2 rows of loungers, I hope this can be maintained! The Dusit in the distance, the Beach looking good, but a few kids lost their toys. A bit of Yeuch still flows into the sea down the beach near the Dusit corner. I must say, mostly it doesn't look bad!

You need to ask some BM heading here from UK to bring one in!

Here is an excellent detailed report from our foodie expert. Terminal 21

As far as I know a tourist visa is still stuck in the passport! Sounds to me like you are talking about the TM6 card.

On North Rd just a bit towards Sukhumvit from Dolphin roundabout.
