I grew up in a tourist area where discounts for locals were sometimes available, so I can live with the idea. But while I might accept paying 100 baht instead of 75, 500 instead of 50 would be over the top nd I might well turn away. Equally, if the price is included in a pre-paid group tour, I would have no way of knowing about any 2-tier pricing.

You may well have a point there - I have often wondered about the extent to which the survival of Thai Airways is seen as a matter of "face" by/for the thai government.

Well, Glitter Man is still with us - I've seen him a few times in the last year, cycling around Merton in South West London.

Tickets can be bought many months in advance of travel. At that time, neither the airline nor the sales staff can know what the entry requirements will be at the time of travel. At check-in time, the rules will be known and if you don't meet the requirements, you will be denied boarding because on arrival, the airline will be responsible for returning you to your departure point.

PS If Prt SC doesn't work on its own, try it while holding down the Fn (Function) key.

If you are using Windows 10, try this: On the top row of the keyboard, toward the right, there should be a key marked something like "Prt Sc". Press this once. This copies everything that is on the screen to the clipboard. Then fire up paint (or any other graphics package) and paste. You can then edit the image and/or save it as .jpg, .png, bmp or whatever you prefer. You should also be able to paste into Word or Wordpad, although I don't think you can then edit the image. The browser you you are using should not affect this.

Be very careful of these - the "entrepreneurs" are out there - see https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/alert/coronavirus-scam-costs-victims-over-800k-in-one-month If the scammers are at it in the UK, they'll be at it everywhere

Midlifecrisis has a point about the noise. I've used the Honey Inn in Soi Honey a few times. It's a nice hotel and less than ten minutes walk to LKM. The rooms at the front are reasonably quiet, but those at the back overlook LKM, and the racket from the Billabong bar has to be experienced to be believed - and it coes on until four am.

I have to agree with these timings - allow a minimum of half an hour for a toilet break and finding the onward gate plus a contingency to allow for late arrival which seems to happen to me about 25% of the time.

FWIW, Glitterman (in full fig) was sighted in Merton High Street, South West London yesterday.

I ate there two weeks ago.

This seems appropriate

Seems they have started again, Suvarnabhumi departures show delays of several hours this mornlng, but this afteroon's flights to London left on time.

I sometimes see UK newspapers on sale in shops - the price tag is mostly 200 baht.
