I've been ordering my Thai CDs from Thai Megamart for the past 3 years now. Their CD prices are reasonable and their shipping is cheap.

Gotta agree... I stayed at the Sunshine Hotel during my last trip. Boy were those kebabs terrific after a night of drinking Chang all night. So convenient... Right in front of the hotel...

I cant seem to enter anything in the "Question field". It allows me to enter one character and that is it. Also, how do I create more answer options? Is it OK for me to do a test poll in this area of the board? Thanks! Jon

Upena, I have the same problem (its not really a problem though). I go thru STAR TOURS which, IMHO, has the cheapest airfairs in HAWAII They always charge me the full value of the ticket and cut me a check for the balance. I don't mind it though. I earn mileage on my credit card. I noticed you are arriving in BKK at 10:45 PM on the 16th. Are you by chance flying JAL #71? I will be aboard with you if you do. Jon

Howzit Upena, I wish I knew about that sooner. I'm taking the standard JAL flight which leaves HNL at 12:00 PM and arrives in BKK at 10:45 PM. I leave 2 days shy of the new flights. Jon

Gotta agree with Smitty..... Stephen Leather's work is the best.

TripleG, Thanks for the offer. I sent a reply to your PM with my address. I will be sending a copy to you within a day or two. Ghost - I will be sure to check out your FTP site... Thanks! Aloha, Ryu

It took a helluva lot of time to download it from WINMX, but I got a hold of a COMPLETE VERSION OF PIMSLEURS THAI LESSONS VOLUME 1 - 10 (mp3 format). It's actually pretty good. Let me know if a couple of you guys are interested in a copy. I'd more than happy to mail it to you (I will pay for the mailing charges). The only catch is, after receiving it from me, you will have to burn a copy for someone else who is interested and pass it on. Fair enough huh? Aloha, Ryu

Hey Pete, Count me in. I'm all for it too... Ryu

Akr, I usually arrive in BKK at 12 AM. I recommend staying in BKK for the night and catching the first bus in the morning from Ekkamai Station. Besides, if you were to get a ride to PTY from BKK at 2 in the morning, you would get there at about 3am to 4am. Not a lot to look and see that late at night. Ryu

Howzit Jimmy (my fellow Islander), I use Panicware's Pop Up Stopper. Got it free from: http://tucows.oceanic.com/ I hope its still there. Program is really good. Ryu9090

Lady Houses are most abundant in Hat Yai. Its about 1000 to 1500 baht for an all day reservation. There is a Traditional Thai massage place located in the Sakura hotel. Their "unique" massage was awesome. Went to only one soapy massage there. It was at a place called PINK LADY. I stayed at the Lee Gardens Hotel. I think it was about 550 baht a night. The hotel isnt bad, and the service was good. FYI: There arent many farangs in Hat Yai due to the fact that almost all of the tourists come from Malaysia. Let me know how it goes.... ;D Ryu9090

If anyone from this board is from Hawaii, there are THAI classses offered here at your local Adult Education School. Theres beginning THAI and advanced THAI. Both for about $35 each. Each session is about 3 hours long and you meet up twice a week for 6 weeks. I'm enrolled in it right now at the KAIMUKI campus. It's not exactly THAI 101, but it definitely helps!!! RYU9090
