  1. The KLM and EVA flights are always full whenever I fly,that's in the high season.Dont know how busy it is to bangkok during the European summer. Competition is always good .I flew Etihad last November 30.€650 paid an extra €90 for aisle seats.
  2. Thai Airways will start daily direct flights from Amsterdam on July 1st.Direct competition with KLM who do daily flights.EVA fly three times a week.Live in hope that flights will get a bit cheaper,not really expecting € 600 again but you never know.
  3. That's how it always appeares on the web site,I am MICHAELANTHONY.
  4. It's halal from what I could see.Thats what would make it different.
  5. I've just walked the beach in Pattaya.The police were arresting a man,tall skinny falang,nude sunbathing! He looked well out of it drink and or drugs.he went quietly.They are busy building from klang northwards.Very corporate! Looks like it's all going to be behind a pay wall.the whole beach is blocked off! The rest is stall after stall selling food mostly I guess.I would stick to the never going to the beach during a festival.Wild horses would not get me there.
  6. I'm on the 20 floor of the Grand Caribbean resort,looking east.Today is the clearest it's been in 11 days.Also at 13:00 the traffic is the lightest it's been.
  7. She's co starring in a new series on Netflix."Amsterdam Empire" A take on the Michael Douglas film War of the roses.
  8. Years ago I used to buy wasabi powder,to take back to Amsterdam for the restaurant where I was head chef.It was very cheap compared to what it cost in Amsterdam,when you could get it that is.I got it from the Asian sections of the big expat oriented supermarkets.That might be worth trying.Be aware that "wasabi" the real stuff is super expensive.The powder I got was mainly horseradish and mustard with 3-5% wasabi.It did say on the 300-400 gram packets Wasabi powder! Probably can't sell it like that nowadays.
  9. Look for a German brand and only buy small jars/tubes.Unless you are going to use it within a week.If you can find Colmans mustard powder,make a small amount as you need it, that will give you the heat and goes well with beef,and is the most economical.
  10. Uniqlo airism.
  11. The stuff that's sold here in the Netherlands and Thailand is 3%.It disappeared of the shelves a few years ago,because.terrorists could use it. I can only get the 120ml plastic bottle and only two at a time.Its good as a general steriliser and wound cleaner.Keep it away from children and childlike adults.
  12. I use it to steriles my water pik and interdental brushes.Also to clean cuts and mosquito bites.I am not a fan of Dettol.
  13. Sometimes you have to ask for it,you also pay separately at the chemist on Klang.
  14. Most Thai drogist sell it,including the one in bigC on klang.
  15. I won't be there till December.Extra virgin olive oil hurts at the till.
  16. Hydrogen peroxide about 30baht 500ml.
  17. Same here,I was coming that weekend but changed my plan.Niw arriving December 1st.Its total gridlock.
  18. If you are just here to see the sights and are in tourist mode, Walking Street is a must see,the big gogos like XS are amazing.Just don't buy any lady drinks. The traffic and pollution around soi Buakhao is horrendous,it's an obstacle course.Like walking Street it's a must see.Find a street side bar for people watching,it's very amusing.
  19. I was walking past the RG end February,so I popped in to get some prices,they gave me a brochure.Reception was dark and dingy not really welcoming.
  20. Those dates are during the fireworks festival,28-29 November.I have just read on the Pattaya news website, that hotels in the centre are just about fully booked and going for a premium.For shopping and to make things easier generally you need to be on the bath bus rout.Thats beach road and second road. From north Pattaya road all the way to jomtien.Check out booking.com to give you some ideas.
  21. Going by reviews, there are two airlines that i will never go near.Air India and Saudi.
  22. EVA does the same.Put in a bid.The upgrade from my premium economy seat to laurel/business class,started at over €500!
  23. And in the Netherlands when you Google tourist visa for Thailand, agencies and dodgy sites including "Thai visa " are the first to show .
