That's bizarre

The rooms are listed at 40 sqm and the agoda photos show bathrooms with see thru walls. I think these rooms are too big for the Chinese tour groups, in my opinion. The location does require a little more hiking. That probably pushes the price down to the young Russians.

sorry, wrong location

what kind and where is it located? Will you pay transportation costs to relocate it?

Thanks Captain Obvious!! My question implied that there would be no non-passenger cargo. Only luggage

Why don't they put some bunk beds in the cargo area for the cattle class? Is it pressurized and temperature controlled the same as the passenger level?

It's very hard to duplicate quality when expanding restaurants. McDonald's is very good at this. Unfortunately, to do it they have to set the standard very low. Subway is the one that has really figured this out the best.

What kind of bar was it. I never went in it.

The give away that this is a chinese package tourist hotel is that on Agoda, there is only one size of room offered and the showers are small. The greyhound buses confirm it. I didn't mind letting the chinese have beach road as long as they left us alone on soi bokow. Time to move on.

Looks like one of the hotels built to accommodate bus loads of Chinese.

In my younger days, I worked in the electronics repair business. People would bring in their dead electronics for a damage estimate as a request of their insurance company after lightning storms. Unless there was evidence that it wasn't lightning damage, we would certify it as lightning damage for.

In the US, home owner's insurance typically covers lighting damage. The issue is typically the deductible.

Thanks for playing. In certain parts of the US, the ground contains high levels of copper. When lightning hits those areas it heats the ground hot enough to melt the fiber.

Even underground fiber optic cables are vulnerable to lightning.

Don't check luggage and you will be the first to the vans. Its the last folks that get orphaned. I would look to see how long between flights coming in to Utapao also.

I've yet had Cathay HK to BKK depart on time. I had enough last time and complained about it and discovered afterwards that 12k in points had been added to my account.

Two questions. Which airline did you fly that lets you arrive at noon? And the second question is why did you as a seasoned traveler check baggage? I'm going to guess the answer to both questions is "Eva Air"

There is a little barber shop on the south side of central road between 2nd rd and Soi Bukhao. Very efficient and very cheap.

B777 3-4-3 is intended for tiny Asian families. It is rude for a westerner to buy one of those seats

Its a little hard to tell from the grainy photo, but it looks like the tomato was picked too early.

" a German bloke was arrested this week for riding round Pattaya naked on a unicycle while wanking himself off." He was practicing for Thailands Got Talent

There is a guy that walks around hunched over everywhere in my town that looks as bad as that guy. He is seen on the side of the road often and everyone knows of him. I asked the police one day if the guy was dangerous and they said he wasn't. The guy never asked anyone for money and many people would just stop him and give him money. One day I had stopped at a gas station when it was raining. He came up to me and asked if I would give him a ride home. Turns out that he lives in a very nice 3000 sq foot house on a full acre of land with his brother that was just as crazy as him.

I'm surprised that the tax rates aren't higher (and maybe they are) in tourist areas.

Here is the phone number to Dave's restaurant to give to your taxi driver +66 33 121 304
