thanks for the reply Samsonite not sure what terminal but Arriving on a China air flight from Ankorage Alaska and then on to Manila. The return is China airlines Manila to Teipei to Ankorage to JFK so from your comments I expect I would be using the new terminal both ways. Not sure I'll go this route just yet price is good but a lot of flights and stops 4 flights in each each direction and no miles for my frequent flyer accounts .

Hello maybe this doesn't belong on here but I figured I'd ask and see what response I get. I'm looking at flights to Manila from Pittsburgh USA the cheapest I find for December is 1250USD on China airlines has anyone flown them? What is the Teipei Airport like?? I've only ever flown on Northwest or United before except for a short trip on Thai air. Any input would be welcome or the next best fare is Asiana Air where I would get miles credited to my United account at 1588USD which would be your pick if you had to choice between these airlines? Thanks for your help

I've stayed in the Penthouse hotel twice with no problems except for some overcharging for use of thier mini bar. However I stayed at Tims beer bar last time. The Penthouse hotel seems to be changing for the worst . I checked out their web page and they are charging a joiner fee if you have more than two thai nationals go to the room with you. Kittens from their club are free but outside girls will cost you if you want to party with a group of girls. The owner of this hotel seems to be letting the day to day management fall to his son. Also maybe the troubles he had 2 or 3 years ago are still

Thanks guys the Vault looks interesting sent them an email just have to see what I get back? I emailed Tims also so far haven't heard anything back maybe full up already or just slow on returning thier email????

Hello I'm looking for a hotel that has Juccuzi rooms besides Penthouse hotel where are they and how do I get in touch with them ? I know Tim's Beer bar has juccuzi rooms also but I've lost thier email address and or web site that shows thier rooms. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks

Just out of curiousity I was checking Travelocities web page for flights from Pittsburgh Pa to Bkk I found a ticket available for 695 USD. I can't use the available dates. But just thought I'd give a heads up to anyone thinking of flying United during these dates. Availability is limited to certain dates but the price can't be beat IMO. Just play with the dates a little and you might get lucky. I don't know if they are offering these fares from other places just thought I give a heads up.

Thanks for your concern LBJ but I'll keep them for now who knows maybe someday Northwest will actually honor thier miles . What I just don't understand is why aren't seats awarded on a first come first served basis. Whether it is cash or awards it's a filled seat and a happy customer that will spend more money at NWA . No wonder all the airlines are going broke competion and a piss poor atitude towards the customer . And when you write or call them they say you should plan for seats earlier . Well hell I've been trying since January and have never found seats available for when I want. But I m

LBJ nope nw miles don't expire just that when I can take vacation in December they never have any award seats available. So now I'm buying from Orbitz where I chose the Airline and get points on their credit card towards money off tickets in the future . I benefit 2 ways this year United in December when I bought my tickets was 832 USD. I get frequent flyer milage with United and points with Orbitz towards my next ticket purchase which will probably be with United or Northwest. Unfortunately Pittsburgh were I'm from doesn't have a lot of International carriers heading west most head east to eu

MM wish I could go then unfortunately I have to wait until Dec. Already bought my ticket on United this year too bad as I have 115,000 northwest miles accumulated that I can't use.

OnMyWay Thanks for the tip unfurtunately I've already bought my ticket to Bkk from Pittsburgh PA. Since I won't arrive until 11:30 pm+ usually at least 1/2 to 1 hr late at arrival I never get thru customs until almost 1 amin BKK. So I'll probably do what I did last year stay in airport and pickup a ticket at Philipines airlines offices for about 320 USD for a total trip price of about 1150 USD. Have never been able to find anything online anywhere close to this price. Usually all want at least

Thanks for the info BigD almost hate to try a search on there now and find out I could have gotten a cheaper price as I really want to visit Pi also on my trip

I just booked thru Orbitz for Dec 11 thru Jan 2 and paid 832 for a roundtrip on United Air. I checked Uniteds webpage the cheapest they showed me from Pittsburgh in the USA was 3300 and arriving 2 days later. Orbitz was on United and arriving 1 day later. I usually fly northwest but this year their fares seem to be way above average price. Maybe I looked in the wrong spot on United for my dates they wanted to flie me all the way to Amsterdam then on to Bangkok. On orbitz it was Chicago Tokyo and Bangkok and artive 1 day sooner fotr a third the price???

Thanks for the info Ready will add them to my searches from now on too bad though it wasn't 2 months earlier . I'm booked on Philipines airline bkk to mnl to bkk at 311 USD now I feel gipped. Oh well it's getting me where I wanted to go and at the time I was really happy with the prices.

I arrive Dec 20 on Philipines airlines after a week spent in Angeles then directly on to Pattaya for 2 weeks. Looks like we're going to miss each other this trip hope we both have a great time .

Too bad I'm staying overnight in Bangkok before leaving for the Philipines or maybe we could have hooked up . Maybe we'll meet to share a beer in Flb how long you going to be in Pattaya ??

Vox maybe I'm wrong but it was my impression that 12:30 was 12:30 pm afternoon which would put me in Pattaya at about 3 pm. I could be wrong though but on all the clocks I've seen using 13:00 hrs would be 1 pm 14:00 would be 2 pm so a morning bus would end up being a afternoon bus at least I hope I'm right as thats the way I've made my plans .

Going to try Tims beer bar Jacuzzi rooms for 1/3 the price of Penthouse jacuzzi rooms trying to broaden my experiences in Pattaya . Rooms look okay just going to miss the balcony that penthouse rooms have overlooking Pattayaland 2. maybe next year I'll switch back or maybe try somewhere else. After all what do you really need in a room except the bed and shower although I admit I like a bathtub/jacuzzi to share with that special lovely of the night. Actually OJ we're probably arriving on the same day I'm just not heading to Pattaya right away . I'm heading for the Philipines for a week Dec 13

Anyone coming in about this time and willing to share the cost of Traveling to Pattaya. I haven't had to arrainge transportation to Pattaya before my hotel always picked me up but this year I'm staying at a place that doesn't provide airport pickup. Any suggestions as to transport would be appreciated. I know about some chioces like Thai limo, Alex's , and Classrooms new service and also just found out that Misty's will arrainge transportation also. Haven't found out what Misty's cost yet but I posted on thier members page asking how much and what it costs. To bad Flb doesn't provide some tran

Thanks guys I just replied back to Tims hopefully I replied in time and will get the room . Thanks for the great pictures Upena too bad I couldn't see the jacuzzi . I realise how hard it is to take a decent picture when your distracted .

Has anyone stayed here recently and what did you like or dislike about the rooms . I've been past Tims but I've never stayed there before the last two times I've stayed at the Penthouse in a jucuzzi room for which I'm paying almost three times what Tim's is asking for the same dates . I do like the Penthouse location but it can get pretty expensive . I've heard that you have to pay for your room in cash at Tim's is this true ? Any information would be appreciated . Thanks

Check out Penthouse hotel a little distance away from walking street a couple of blocks but you can get a basic room for around 30 US or less. I've stayed there twice and may stay there again this December . Right in the middle of the gogo street Pattayaland . Not to evertones taste but should be experienced at least once .

Hello I'm coming to Thailand in Dec 2003 I'll arrive in Bangkok at 12:05 am now usually I travel right to Pattaya but this year I intend a side trip to the Philipines. I arrive on the 12th/13th and leave on Philipines air on the 13 at 13:40 so somewhere between 12 hrs + - an hour. So my question is this would you stay at the airport or would you find a hotel for the night? I was thinking about maybe staying at the Nana hotel for the night and maybe get lucky and get some company for the night or a short time. maybe something closer to the airport if there is any action close to the airport. th

I've stayed there twice once in Dec 2001 and again in Dec 2002 I'll probably stay there again but like it's already been mentioned watch your mini bar list like a hawk both times I've been there they billed me for stuff I didn't use. Hell why would anyone use their condemns when we all know were coming to party with the girls yet every time they try to slip a few condoms onto my bill unless you catch it right away you'll end up paying for it. Now I always check my mini-bar everyday after their done with my room. To bad about this because otherwise it's a great hotel with a lot of cuties and a

kjvegas good luck getting a free flight out of Northwest I have 75000 accumulated miles but can't get a free flight when I can go on vacation they limit when their miles can be used . Would be a better system if you could plug in where your leaving from and where you want to go and they could supply us with available dates that we could use our miles for

well I'm glad I could help out with the air fare just lucked on to it myelf and thought that there might be some guys like me that only get winter vacations.I've always had to pay at least 1050 US so it seemed right to post it to see if anyone else could take advantage of there deals. By the way Greg when are you getting to Pattaya?? maybe we'll cross paths???
