I have not been to Thailand since May but will be returning in a couple of weeks time. My AIS One 2 Call sim will have expired so does anyone know if new Sim cards as opposed to top-up cards for AIS are now available in 7-11's and Family Mart stores? Back in April they were only available from AIS outlets, my first stop is in Bangkok and I do not really want to trudge down to an AIS shop if they are available more locallly. I prefer the AIS network for both coverage and pricing. Thanks for any information.

Having seen this thread I decided to check on my end of year visit itinerary. I leave London on November 28th and the aircraft is shown as a 777 but for the return on January 20th it is a 747. I personally prefer the 747's over the 777 as I always fly Business Class and find the 747 upper deck more comfortable than the Premier Laurel on the new planes.

If anyone is planning a trip from the Uk to Thailand in December then EVA have a good deal going right now. Flying Premium Laurel (Business) class paying for your ticket within 14 days of booking the price is £1325 which is about £200 more than economy will be for the same period if booked later in the year. Offer through Travelbag for the Christmas high shoulder period flights

When I first started working in Pattaya 14 years ago that guy was doing exactly the same. He obviously makes a good living from it to have stuck with it for so long. As for your question about traffic, you mean to say that there are traffic rules in Pattaya?

<I'm sure you only get plastic knives and forks on BR067/8, LHR-BKK.> Not sure about Evergreen De-luxe as it is some years since I flew that, but in Business Class you do get metal knives and forks (-:

[quote author=WickedDan for 466 squid. Now that sounds fishy (:- Seriously you will find EVA air a great airline to fly. I have flown with them for the past 4 years, ( 8 return trips a year). If you can afford the extra few pounds it is worth going for the Evergreen Class over the Economy as you get a lot more leg room and wider seats. I am fortunate that as my flights are company expenditure I fly business class but I do have friends and family who fly with Eva in other classes and have yet to hear a bad word about them. Also the good thing about the London check in is that it opens 5 hours before the flight so there is never a last minute mad rush at check-in.

Some friends of mine are arriving at Bangkok International airport in a few weeks time at 3.30PM and have to travel direct to Mathaput, Rayong. I have suggested either booking a taxi to meet them or picking up a car from the Thai Limo desk at the airport. At that time in the afternoon can anyone see any problems in getting a Thai Limo service from the airport down to Rayong? Thanks

At the moment EVA are offering H/row - BK flights at £465. through travel agents for travel up to end of May.

IMHO EVA wins hands down everytime. From reading the previous posts I must be one of the lucky ones. I have never had a delay with EVA and the service has always been excellent. you will find it difficult to try open your eyes and not finding a cabin attendant standing in the cabin with a tray of drinks. I fly the LN/BK return route 5 times a year and have used EVA for the last 4 years. Qantas since joining with BA have slipped in their standard of service, mainly because they use BA cabin crew on that route. I have only used EVA economy once when I needed a last minute seat but if your budget will stretch to Evergreen Deluxe it is certainly worth the extra. Also if you join the Evergreen club (free) you do earn points towards an upgrade. Luckily I am now able to fly Business Class which beats BA/Qantas/Thai Business Class hands downs each time.

Ok- if you insist. You are a softy ;D
