Does anybody know why prices are much higher during the lowest season? Jun-Sept.

Captain, Not sure what your needs are. When I visit from the states I need to be able to sit in my room with my laptop and both make and receive calls. I have been using a service called NetZero Voice. For $15.00 per month you receive a "land line" phone # with the area code of your choice. You may make calls to other land lines within the US, Canada, etc. for no charge. Others may call you at your assigned number with no charge to you. I forward both my cell # and land line to my NetZero assigned number and it rings on the computer or goes into voice mail. Most of my clie

Gee wiz. I have flown the LAX - BKK nonstop round trip several times now. It was really nice, saved several hours flying time. And the hassle of changing planes and sitting around Japanese or Taiwanese airport's in a jet-lag stupor. I would imagine Thai Air is forecasting a drop in US citizens traveling to Thailand.

I agree with Owen on this. I have been visiting Pattaya for 10 years and heard many stories similar to yours. If your condo is in both you and your wife's name, your chances of being awarded financial compensation are slim. If it is in just her name the chances are nil.

Once upon a time, on a tropical island a retired corporate executive decided to take a vacation. He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life... until the boat sank! He found himself on an island with no other people, with no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts. After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day, when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. In disbelief, he asks her, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?" She replies, "I rowed from the other side of the island. I landed h

Irish Alzheimer's Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down when he saw him. Murphy had never been seen in church in his life. After Mass, the priest caught up with Murphy and said, "Murphy, I am so glad ya decided to come to Mass, what made ya come?" Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Father, a while back, I misplaced me hat and I really, really love that hat. I know that McGlynn had a hat just like me hat, and I knew that McGlynn came to church every Sunday. I also knew that McGlynn had to take off his hat during Mass and figured he w

You are a wise man Owen

I enjoyed it. Good for a laugh even if not written by Cleese http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/revocation.asp

I stayed at the Whitehouse Condotel down the street from Ma Masaion last June. Walked by Ma Masaion many times. Had a nice look/feel to it. If they have in room internet I would like to try them. Are they "girl friendly"? Joiner fees, etc?

"beautiful hong narm"? I've led a sheltered life. What is hong narm?
