  1. My recommendation in general would be to have the airline's app installed on your phone during your trip, even if you decide to uninstall it later. Other more general apps are available too, but I think the airline's app would have the most accurate gate and departure data for their itineraries.
  2. The story I heard was that they ran it while a member of the rf attended university in the US, and stopped it after. The security certificate angle is also plausible. Those flights were interesting in that no matter which of the three possible routes they took (west, east, or due north/south) the flight duration was nearly the same.
  3. In case you're wondering, this is due to your device being set up to respond to a click on an email link by opening Outlook, and has nothing to do with the website or its owner. That can be changed to open whatever app/program/website you use for email. If you're using a phone and are not technically inclined, any phone shop that speaks reasonable English should be able to help you. Have them uninstall Outlook while you're at it, the phone app is a shitshow IMO.
  4. Interestingly, the paper green card extension was sent immediately, as though it was computer automated. We also had to do a biometric scan. Meanwhile, the extension is for 4 years, whereas the original green card was only good for 3 years! I think processing times for the actual cards are ~3 years. We'll be in Thailand permanently before that, although the green card would be nice to have.
  5. Mine will be on her temporary green card extension, which is basically a piece of paper they send you when you apply for the new green card, because they're so far behind processing this stuff. Fingers crossed!
  6. It would be a pleasure to meet you or anyone else on this board some time. Safe travels mate.
  7. Fortunately we'll already be there, and won't have to bother with this, at least this time.
  8. Less of a consideration for a pickup than an SUV or a car I should think. While I share your uncertainty about the overall quality, the Chinese seem to have cracked the code for making decent-looking cars anyway.
  9. Good pics. I got a ride in an ICE MG taxi last year during my visit, and was pretty impressed with the ride, and the fit and finish.
  10. It was not a demand or even a request.
  11. https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/44350851/two-heavyweight-champion-george-foreman-dies-age-76 "'Big' George Foreman, one of the most influential and recognizable boxers of all time, died Friday, his family announced on his social media account. He was 76. Foreman, who captured an Olympic gold medal in 1968, was a two-time heavyweight champion and Hall of Fame boxer. He's perhaps best known for the historic Rumble in the Jungle bout with Muhammad Ali in 1974 in Zaire, a fight Foreman lost in an upset via eighth-round KO. It's arguably the most famous fight of all time, and the 'When We Were Kings' film that chronicled the fight won an Oscar for best documentary feature." More at link. RIP, champ.
  12. I didn't say you did that, mate. What other explanation would there be except that I actually saw this and took screenshots, so therefore it actually happened? Well, I'm not sure how a problem at a user's location would cause the server to allow him into areas of the database that he's not supposed to be able to access, but if you're satisfied with that explanation, I have nothing more to say on the matter. Just trying to help here. [/thread] Mods, you can go ahead and close this thread, after force and whomever else has had their say.
  13. OK, well, not sure why I would make up or fabricate such a thing, but if you're happy I'm happy. BTW, just tried it from this computer on Edge, and it redirected to the proper page. Dunno, just trying to help. Go ahead and close this thread if appropriate. Cheers.
  14. Two machines, two browsers. Are you sure you were logged off? Try a browser/machine you were not logged in from?
  15. Maybe. Just trying to help out here, those screens aren't terribly welcoming if others are seeing them.
  16. I keep warning my missus about this same thing. "But Thai lady on YouTube say can do!" LOL fine by me, I don't have to bail "YouTube Thai lady"s ass out of jail.
  17. FYI, if someone simply goes to https://pattayatalk.com/, they get this screen: If they click cgi-bin they get this screen:
  18. As I said in the other thread we land on the 18th, so I THINK we just miss Songkran.
  19. I believe I detect.....
  20. Welp, the fog surrounding my 2025 trip to Thailand is clearing, and it looks like we'll be there for Songkran. In that case, I suspect we would spend part of the week in Ayutthaya with the family, and part of it in Pattaya. More to come as the dust settles...
  21. I agree that it would be more fun if it was less aggressive. I don't especially mind getting wet if I know it's coming, I just don't want to have a high-powered hose turned on me.
  22. How different is that from your normal routine?
